Re: Removing a 9" spindle

gorvil
 

Set the tailstock with a dead center in it in front of the spindle
to catch it as it comes out. It will save a few steps retrieving it
as it flies across the shop. You can use the tailstock quill to
convince it to go back where it came from when it comes to that, too.

I agree with Bob. I just removed mine a few weeks back.
I took a scrap piece of soft wood (pine) and used a 3lb hammer and

The main thing is that there is some adjustent to the belts when the
motor is in place.

Check E-Bay, last time I looked, 1hp was going for around $25.00 plus
shipping.

search for something close....

heavy 10 parts and heavy 10 wholes

Jeff Beck
 

Before I go to the bay with this I figured I would post here. I just
got in an entire older style heavy 10 (single lever gear box but with
5C headstock), it will be selling in parts. Contact me OFFLINE if you
need anything from it. For tooling it has a mic stop,most of a collet
rack, threading dial and a handwheel closer, no chucks. I sell parts
as entire assys for the most part, ie: entire apron or entire
tailstock.

In addition I still have 2 whole heavy 10s in stock both in nice
shape.

1) Old style, 1-7/8 spindle, single lever, 3/4jaw, tubular frame
base, 110v motor setup.
2) Recent large spindle, dual tumbler, lever clutch,cabinet base, 5c
lever closer, steadyrest,3jaw chuck, hard bed.

I have contemplated swapping the parts headstock on to the #1 lathe
to make it more desirable (5C) but im not sure its worth the work yet.

I get great freight rates (except to the west coast)

thanks

Thanks for the info Tom,

Any idea how hard it is to find a tailstock for this thing?

I would never part out a good machine, I would only consider it if it was
much uglier in person than the pictures show, or was missing a lot of
important parts that I'm not aware of.

I am definitely someone who appreciates "saving" a machine, with all it's
history, and have quite a bit of success in the past!


Thanks

Bernie,
I have a 13" Model 34 from 1915 that looks very similar to yours. It
was a line shaft unit without the overhead drive (similar to yours)
when it was received by its previous caretaker. He made his own cam
lever belt tensioner and found an old 110/220v motor to power it. I
have used it in my home shop since the late 70's. I think you would be
satisfied to keep, restore and use as yours, if you're so inclined.

I remember an earlier posting that we don't own these beasts but care

Hello Rick,

That was my idea, if it was salvageable. It is missing a tailstock, which I
am unsure of the availability. It is also missing any kind of countershaft
(easily worked around).

I am also un aware of the condition of the ways. If it was terrible I would
only consider parting it out.

Otherwise, I would be happier to sell it whole, if I win it.


Bernie

If you don't want it why not sell it complete to
someone who does?

Re: Spindle Sleeve for Clausing Lathe

Jeff Beck
 

Scott-
Im not sure if this will help or not. I have a Clausing Colchester
15" gear head lathe here. I think it is a D1-6 spindle nose though. I
dont have the morse adapter but I have the 5c collet adapter and I
can take measurements off it if thats of any help.

ps. I listed this machine on ebay starting at .99 cents and to my
horror it sold for slightly over $800!!! Reliable sold an almost
identical machine with a few more pc of tooling for over $3500! doh!

You didn't mention the diameters or length, but it would appear that
you might be able to turn an existing one to fit.

Re: Milling attachment

viajoaquin@...
 

Indeed, I was thinking of the knee axis of vertical and horizontal mills being the same but they are not! The z axis of a horizontal mill is not the knee but in and out (or front to back), which would make the carriage movement on a lathe the z axis.

Sorry, no. The Z axis on all machine tools is the axis aligned with the
main spindle.

On a vertical mill, "Z" is up and down of the quill (the knee, if so
equipped, is usually "W").

On an engine lathe, "Z" is "left to right" along the bed.

On a horizontal mill, "Z" is in and out.

I hope we don't have to get into U, V and W, or A, B and C axes!
