Boy I wish I could! I am stuck in Anarcitica till next feb, 6 mo before I can play with my toys! -80 with the wind chill yesterday! enjoy the good weather! Steve Jeff Beck wrote: Check out

Is anyone going to Amherst Sunday? I will have a few tables setup with misc tools, etc. If you go, stop by and introduce yourself. Always nice to put faces to people. Jeff

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

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

Have taken possession of a heavy 10 and in the process of cleaning etc. before putting into service. The motor question still remains to be resolved but am making some progress. The lathe came with a

Scott, 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 with a few sharp whacks the spindle was driven past the bull gear

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

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

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

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

help. manual, mores center with a 2 You didn't mention the diameters or length, but it would appear that you might be able to turn an existing one to fit. Dave

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought too. Scott

Hello Scott, That price is ridiculous. I can't believe they want that much for a spindle sleeve --- "Scott S. Logan" <ssl@...> wrote: --------------------------------- OK, slightly off

in that case I suppose it would depend on which way the part you are cutting was drawn and how it is clamped in the fixture

I am inclined to agree with the z along with the bed. isn't it in relation to the axis of the spindle

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

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

There is a link to PDF copies of how to run a lathe with pictures of the early lates on the yahoo group site. Rick --- jeffrml <charybdis@...> wrote:

I bid on this lathe, but not much because the shipping would have killed me. I agree: Don't part it out! This is a piece of history. It is a 13". I looked it up before I bid, and it was built in

For sure: whether of not its a vertical or horizontal mill, if is a mill, the direction into the spindle is the positive Z axis. Jim B.
