Craftsman sold 2 different lathes that would fall into the class
as these 7" lathes . I have had a couple , ( though missing a
tailstock for one ) for several years now & so far they only
occupy shelf space , Though they appear to be quit nice lathes
talkin to other folks that have one they are a lesson in
frustration . One guy told me that if a guy can good parts on one
of these 109 series lathes they he could make fantastic parts on a
real lathe . These lathe were made in the late 30's & up .

I try fined more data on history.?
About all found was size 6 to 7"
But today you find lathes call mini lathes to 8" swing too.?
Back 1960's you see small simple lathes with 6" swing but they
where not call mini lathe just small.
