Ultra-rare rev counter fitting on the Raglan Five Inch

Long T-slotted cross slide and rear tool post. The standard cross slide on the 5-inch was shorter than the ways on which it ran and, over time, wore their centre section more than the ends. In normal use the long cross slide uses the full length of the ways - and wear is, as a consequence, both slower and more evenly distributed.
The top slide was clamped down onto its mounting plate by two angled thrust pins engaging in a tapered grove on the spigot.

Six-station bed- mounted turret slide

Lever-action collet holder

LOO spindle nose fitting

Single pulley drive attachment.
The drive input went to the small V pulley on the right-hand side of the shaft with the expanding and contracting variable-speed pulley mounted at the other end.
Late model Five-inch lathes have a similar fitting mounted on the back of the stand with the

Heavy-duty 4-way toolpost for cross slide mounting -  used in place of the top slide.

Taper-turning unit. The support arms were made from solid steel bars

Neat, self-contained toolpost grinder

A wide range of other accessories was also available including the usual fixed and travelling steadies, a large faceplate, American style and top-slide mounting 4-way toolposts, a micrometer bed stop, hand rests for wood turning and metal spinning, a boring table to replace either the cross slide or the vice on the vertical-milling slide and a draw-in collet attachment,
