Jul 30, 2011 Rating Walker Turner Lathe by: Michael I have the same lathe pictured here. I bought in Colorado 20 years ago for $250. It came with a maintenance tag when it was lubricated in 1947 by a private in the Air Force. The lathe also bears the intials of AAF. I have turned many spindles, lathe handles, miscellaneous parts and also used it for offest turnings. It has performed well but had problems locating parts to fit the 1" 12 tpi drive. great old machine.

Jan 06, 2011 Rating Walker Turner Wood Lathe by: G Patrick Walker Turner, before purchase by Delta in the late fifties, produced some very nice machines, including your lathe. Visit and join the OWWM site, where you will find a great wealth of information regarding drawings, parts,and restoration tips to bring that lathe back to life. Be sure to participate in the forums where some of the most knowledgeable people in the country can provide advise and parts for your restoration. I have a W-T lathe also and can say that most of the models used non standard headstock bearings which may be difficult to find. I can assure you that your lathe properly restored will out perform almost all of the foreign built junk on the market these days. Good luck and enjoy the experience.....Glen

Dec 19, 2010 Rating Don't blame the tool by: OAKMAN I call guys like you 'Wood-Weinies' You did not like the lathe. Did you go over the machine? Check run-out, End play. I doubt you even know what these terms mean. A fine running Walker Turner 'anything' is what old iron is all about. Get yourself a used Shopsmith, they will get the job done, but I'm sure you would 'blame' the machine again?
