Default Re: Dixi Brake Drum Lathe questions

Don I believe your Dixie lathe is the same as Lempco's brake lathe which was produced in Cleveland, Ohio. As long as the initial arbor dimension is 1.00" Ammco, Barrett, Rels, Kwik Way, Star, Van Norman adapters can be used. The fact that your arbor is stepped down to .684 diameter helps in mounting the tapered axle drums. Lempco no longer makes any auto related equipment. They strictly produce Die sets and related hardware for the tooling and die industry.
