Part 6/11:
The owner examines the lathe for identification markings, but none are apparent—traits not uncommon in older machinery where manufacturing labels might have worn away or been omitted. The side rail appears to be designed for attaching additional fixtures or a milling attachment, with a bolt-on dovetail system.
One such potential attachment looks like a milling head or some kind of turret, capable of tilting and angling for various machining tasks. The table can move laterally and tilt, enhancing versatility, while movement along the axis seems limited to up-and-down adjustments.
