Advertised as The Little John Woodturner - and looking not dissimilar to the Harrison Union Jubilee and (much heavier) Wadkin Type BZL - the Raglan wood lathe can only have been made in very limited numbers, with hardly any appearing on the second-hand market each year. As a wood-turning lathe this was an impressively engineered machine for it, of course, it was the ordinary Little John 5-inch metal lathe with the speeds made more suitable for wood turning. The lathe had its headstock and bed cast as one piece with a centre height of 5.125-inches and a choice of between-centres capacities -  30 or 40 inches.
Constructed of heavy-gauge sheet steel the headstock pedestal housed the underdrive 0.75 h.p. electric motor; this sat on a plate that could be tilted by means of a foot pedal to slacken the V-belt to change speed - access to the belt being provided through a hinged top plate and a door cut into the face of the plinth.
Four speeds were provided: 570, 1070, 1900 and 3500 rpm. The No. 2 Morse taper headstock spindle had a square, 6 t.p.i. nose thread (exactly like the metal lathes) and ran in Timken taper roller bearings; it was fitted with a useful brake operated by a handle that protruded through the front face of the headstock. The inner (smaller) faceplate was in cast iron but the 12-inch diameter outer, for bowl turning, was in aluminium and could hold material up to 18-inches in diameter and 5-inches thick.
Unfortunately neither the inboard nor outboard tool holder was fitted with a quick release to allow instant repositioning, instead a loose spanner had to be found to unclamp the locking nut. Two T-rests were provided, 6-inches and 12-inches long, both of which could be interchanged between  the rests. A rack-driven carriage assembly with a light-duty compound slide rest was on the options list, together with a saw table and the usual range of chucks and turning tools.
Unfortunately no works photographs of the lathe appear to have survived - if you have one of these lathes the writer would be very interested to hear from you..
