Toyo ML-1 Miniature Precision Lathe 2" centre height and 10" between centres. 590mm long, 260mm wide and 175mm high (23.5" x 10.25" x 7"). I bought this lathe in the early 80’s to use for prototypes in my precision turned-parts company where we ran cam-operated auto lathes. I'm the only person to have operated the Toyo and, after the company closed in 1998, I brought it home for my clock-repairing hobby. It has been used for fewer than 100 hours since new.
