If everything works right,it would be useful for a LOT of things ;). Tommy D.
 
I have an older Smithy Lathe that looks very similar to your lathe, only mine is much bigger. Same finish and similar handles for dialing in your X, Y, and Z axis. Hope this helps, also Smithy lathes seem to hold up well over time. Mine is at least 40 years old and runs like a champ!!!
 
It looks a lot like the Taiwan or China made lathes that had the option of having a milling head added to it.
 
Not sure where it was made. The chuck comes off and a milling cutter holder or a drill chuck goes into it's place. The turning stuff comes off and a milling slide goes onto the slide for milling parts. They had lots of tooling options for them. Last time I saw one was around 2002 or maybe earlier. Were a popular option for model engineers in the early 1980s.
