Wolf,Jahn Precision Plain-turning
Bench Lathe

Wolf Jahn Home Page   Wolf Jahn Watchmakers' Lathes   70 mm Centre Lathe 
Wolf Jahn Precision Bench Lathe   BGSC Precision Bench Lathe   

A rare Wolf,Jahn lathe of the plain-turning precision bench type.
Approximately 3.5" centre height and 15" between centres

The headstock and its plain, adjustable bearings were, for a small lathe, of great size and strength.

A distinctive design of compound slide rest was used with the long travel top slide having its feed screw off-set to the left (once a common feature on precision bench lathes) and the cross feed screw passing through two end plates.
