Seneca Falls also manufactured a range of simple wood-turning lathes sometimes marketing them under the "Crown" label and often applying the description "Speed Lathe" to them--although the latter term should really be reserved for a simple headstock assembly and hand rest used for polishing or very simple turning.

10-inch wood-turning lathe fitted with a substantially constructed built-on countershaft assembly with screw-feed adjustment of the belt tension and a variable-speed DC motor. An unusual departure from standard practice on this model, and reminiscent of a high-quality precision bench lathe, was the use of a "reversed" headstock cone pulley with its largest diameter against the left-hand spindle bearing. |

Listed in the early catalogs as a "speed lathe" this 10-inch machine has the traditional Seneca-Falls style outside "overhung" flywheel assembly and twin pedal drive. |
