Barnes Lathe Seat

Barnes Lathe Seat This page is to get the confusion out of how a W.F. Barnes Lathe seat should look like. Some times lathes are offered for sale with tractor seats on it, they look almost the same but are definitely not the right ones. They are more shallow. I have not seen early seats, they could be different. To keep is short and pictures say more than words.

Close up to see the the hole configuration in the arm. This is how my seat looks like on the Nr 4 i have.
