Other Apparatus

To complement their lathes, Holtzapffel & Co. manufactured a variety of ornamental turning apparatus, tools, and materials.

Numerous chucks, cutting frames, cutters, slide rests, and more are detailed in their trade catalogue. Less known items, such as Torrens' Milling Attachment are pictured, along with a detailed explanation. Also shown are the grinding apparatus, sawing apparatus, and a variety of other tools.

In addition, the catalogue contains many illustrations detailing the "powers" of the ornamental cutting frames and chucks. A complete price list of lathes and apparatus is provided at the back of the catalogue.
