Thread Chasing Attachment
- designed for use on the plain lathe and capable of producing very accurate external and internal threads with a maximum length of 50 mm. Unlike a conventional screwcutting lathe the Lorch (and many similar precision lathes) relied on a system of threaded "hobs", with precision-ground threads, which served as masters whose profile could be transferred to the workpiece. The master thread was mounted at the left-hand end of the headstock and its movement transmitted by a sliding bar mounted in brackets clamped to the upper rear edge of the headstock casting. A thread-cutting tool, held in an adjustable holder at the other end of the bar, completed the set up.

Drilling Tailstock
- with a lever-operated spindle and provision for 20mm collets and 3 Morse taper spindle inserts. The operating lever was adjustable to any position from horizontal to vertical.
A lever-operated tailstock is infinitely preferable for drilling operations, mirroring the operation of a vertical drill press in its action and allowing great sensitivity of control - especially with small diameter drills.

Double Drilling Tailstock
This unit was fitted with two-way swivelling spindles each able to mount 20 mm collets or 3 Morse taper inserts. Each barrel could be swung into position by releasing a single lever which then simultaneously locked the new position. This unit was especially useful for drilling/reaming and drilling/tapping operations, etc.

Capstan lever operated Drilling Tailstock
- this tailstock was fitted with an especially robust spindle for heavy-duty  work and deep-hole drilling. The spindle could mount headstock type collets of 20, 27 and 30 mm shank diameter - or Morse tapers. Accurate depth drilling was aided by a stop-ring fitted with an adjusting screw.
This accessory was made for the Type A and B lathes only.

Motor Drive Unit for Bench  Lathes
- this countershaft unit was designed to be positioned underneath the workbench. The base plate was provided with a hinge and an eccentric belt-tensioning device.

Motor Drive Unit for Bench  Lathes
- this countershaft unit was designed to be positioned behind the  lathe. The bracket carrying the pulley bearings was bolted directly to the casing of the 1,400 rpm motor. Two speed ranges were offered:
a single-speed motor gave 6 speeds between 375 and 2,100 whilst the optional two-speed 1,400/2,800 rpm motor provided 12 spindle speeds spanning 375 to  4,200 rpm
