This invention relates to lathes and has for its object the provision of a cheap and simple attachment whereby a much larger device can be turned upon the lathe than the machine was originally built for. It frequently happens that a machine shop will have occasion to perform some operation upon a device far larger than its ordinary lathes will accommodate, and yet such unusual work does not come with sufficient frequency to warrant the purchase of a lathe of that size. Such work as that has ordinarily to be sent out to a larger shop at considerable loss of time and expense, since the only alternative heretofore has been to tie up a large sum of money in a machine which is used only infrequently. The object of my invention is the provision of an attachment which shall be in itself simple and inexpensive and by means of which the unusual device can be handled upon the usual lathes. Further objects of the invention are the provision of a device of this character which shall be cheaply and easily constructed, and which shall have a considerable range of adjustment permitting it to be applied to lathes of many makes; while further objects and advantages of this said invention will become apparent as the description proceeds.
