Welcome to www.wade8a.com

 

 

The Model 8A Toolmakers Precision Lathe, produced by The Wade Tool Company of Waltham, Massachusetts, was a first-class tool room machine, rivaling the machines of Rivett, Hardinge, and other manufacturers of high precision lathes.  Discontinued in 1959, the 8A still enjoys a loyal following of satisfied owners.

Wade, still in business in Chelsea, Massachusetts, (www.wademachine.com), have kindly given me permission to host this site and provide an information resource for all those interested in the Model 8A lathe.
