Thanks guys,
The brass or bronze Im using is of unknown origin as well, seems quite hard hopefully will wear well. Thanks for the offer.
The lathe is imported by Summit machine in Oklahoma from Poland I believe. 16 inch swing with a 80 inch bed, 6400 lbs, nice fit and finish. spindle has quite a speed range, 20 - 2000 rpm, cuts 1/4 to 60 tip, the 3 inch spindle bore is handy.
