Another  circa 1890 to 1910 foot-treadle driven Weisser, the Model EE, but fitted with a screwcutting gearbox. Although the box look, externally, like those fitted to contemporary American Prentice lathes, its internal arrangement was more like that used by LeBlond  type with a long "piereced bar" for the plunger to engage with. Fitted below and parallel to the leadscrew was the power feeds' drive shaft, this being equipped with automatic, adjustable knock-off trips. Also fitted was an ingenious drive, taken from the rim of the flywheel by a round leather belt, to run toolpost-mounted high-speed milling and grinding spindles. Unusually, for the size of lathe, the nose of the headstock spindle was surround by a division plate in bronze - and the centre held on a draw-in collet. A hardly-used, surviving example of this model in the UK has a proliferation of number stamps on all the parts - the stamps clearly being of a hand-made and hence all of  a slightly different form.

As found this Weisser EE showed no signs of ever having been used for metal turning. The teeth on the backgears and changewheels were unmarked and the headstock dividing plates never fitted. However, having been used for woodturning, it was jammed hard with an accumulation of hardened sawdust and had to be stripped to free everything off
