Judging by their extreme paucity on the used marked, the Tyme SL 750 with its 125 mm (5-inch) centre height and 750 mm (30 inches) between centres capacity, must be the hardest of all the UK-manufactured Tyme lathes to find. The largest machine made by the company, it followed normal Tyme practice in having the motor bolted to the back face of the headstock - but inboard (instead of cantilevered outwards) and with drive to an overhung pulley, rather than to one set between the spindle bearings. In this more rigid position the standard-fit 0.5 h.p. single-phase motor did reduce the size of faceplate that could be fitted and, as a further disadvantage, unlike the Coronet or Tyme Avon and Cub models, the SL 750 lacked a swivel headstock for large-diameter bowl turning (and was limited to just three speeds of 590, 1000 and 2500 r.p.m.). Fitted with a No. 1 Morse taper - as was the tailstock - the headstock spindle had, as standard, 2 mm x 25 mm nose thread - though the makers did offer the option of a Whitworth 3/4" x 16 t.p.i. The use of No. 1 Morse centres when the Avon had No. 2 was something of an aberration and difficult to understand - in addition, when all other Tyme lathes had twin-bar beds that assured an accurate headstock to tailstock alignment, that on the SL-750 was a single bar of round steel - the designer possibly inspired by the same economical fitting found on the long-established and very popular Coronet Major, Minor and Minorette models. Unfortunately, the tall tailstock was locked to the bed by a split along its underside nipped up by a clamping screw - the arrangement ensuring that the user was forced to waste time checking, very carefully, that things were set correctly for between-centres work.
A number of accessories were offered, these including a second bed clamp to hold the other end of two extra-long, 400 mm (16") and 650 mm (26") T-rests. In addition to the standard 200 mm (8-inch) T-rest, three others could be supplied: 120 mm (4.75"), 250 mm (10") and 300 mm (12"). Other items included a centre ejector/thread protector for the spindle, a curved bowl-turning rest, tailstock chuck and rotating centre..
