Below the cupboard are some heavier items for the B2 Pittler lathe
Shown above is a unique late Victorian factory cupboard fitted out with accessories for the Pittler B2 lathe.
It came together with my second B2 and the cupboard had been mounted on the wall in a small museum of clocks for a number of years, sadly the museum is now closed.
Pittler were very generous with their standard accessories and included a travelling steady, faceplate, 3 jaw chuck, T or hand rest, poppet cover, a full set of 17 gear wheels and 3 steel worms, drawbars for head & tailstocks, a milling head & drawbar, a separate dividing spindle with indexing disk & locking device, and a set of spanners and cutting tools.
On the back of the r/hand door is a list of the original contents, only a few items are missing, mostly cutting tools & spanners.
List of original contents
Pittler B2, original Oak drawer
The useful drawer contains collets, keyway cutters, spanners etc.
Also of interest is this original Oak drawer, this was supplied with lathes fitted on a cast iron stand. This one also has a screwcutting chart giving details of worm and wheel combinations
The inside of the drawer is fitted out along the front with holders for collets and other 8mm fittings.
Along the r/hand side is a set of 1/4" round shank keyway cutters, a small holder for these is also visible near the corner.
