Re: Spindle take-up bearing interference with the gearbox engagement lever on my 10k
Mel Gross
Obviously the bearing is too thick. I don’t like the idea of taking the cast iron lever down. If you really want to keep the bearing, my suggestion is to take the nut down a bit at the rear - away from the bearing. You can do that with a mill if you have no way to machine it if it’s off the lathe.

Re: Spindle take-up bearing interference with the gearbox engagement lever on my 10k

One side of the takeup nut has to stay true to the spindle, the other does not. I would take a skim cut only on the outer side. allan On Mon, Sep 26, 2022 at 9:26 PM Rick <vwrick@...> wrote: I’d probably just machine a little off the lever.

Spindle take-up bearing interference with the gearbox engagement lever on my 10k
Rogan Creswick
I don't know that I have the right terms here, but hopefully with pictures they suffice. My lathe went through a fire, and all the felt brunt up, including the felt washer that went between the spindle take-up nit and the casting. I replaced it with the suggested fix I found on line at the time, which was a thin needle bearing and two thin hardened washers. You can see these in the picture. Now, I've just reassembled everything, and the lever that engages the gearbox won't seat properly in the casting because the take-up nut is further out from the casting than it was with the felt washer. I can imagine any number of solutions here, but I'd like your suggestions. Thanks! Rogan

I got a lever closer a couple years ago without the gear or the support arm.docx
This may give you an idea.

Make a new yoke bracket for collet closer
I have been having a lot of trouble locating the yoke bracket I need for my 10L Heavy lever collet closer. I occasionally see a 5C collet adapter sleeve as well as the spindle nose thread protector that I need on eBay, but to date I have yet to run across a yoke bracket. So I am thinking of trying to make one. BUT, not having anything other than pictures to go by makes that equally difficult. Any chance anybody out there has a drawing that shows the dimensions and accurate angles for this thing? I have little doubt the original was made from cast iron which is not an option. But I could acquire the needed steel bar and go with it from there. With the cost of stock material & delivery these days, I really don't want to burn through a few copies trying to get the dimensions & angles right. Thanks, Greg

Re: Help with my 10K UMD
Rogan Creswick
I took some quick measurements of mine, it's currently disassembled, but I may put it back together tonight, if I'm lucky. Let me know if you need other dimensions, as soon as possible! I don't have a good way to measure the angle between the two threaded holes, and I haven't checked the thread pitch of the set screws. I don't think the angle matters much, it looks like roughly 60 degrees. --Rogan On Sun, Sep 18, 2022, 10:53 AM comstock_friend <jfriend314@...> wrote: The group seems to be resizing photos.

Re: Help with my 10K UMD
The 'linkage' is just a straight bar that the belt cover pushes down on the p/n 24 Bracket.
Can one of you measure the width and diameter of the p/n 43 collar? For some reason, mine is missing. Seems to still work without it, but I don't think it is correct. John

Re: Help with my 10K UMD
Rogan Creswick
Thanks for the extra pictures! I am missing the linkage from the cover to the safety interlock, but at least that interlock part makes sense now... yes there is a draw bar that is required to use the collets as well as a threaded end protector/cap |

[Edited Message Follows] Hi There,Daniel, I see that the collar on the safety interlock is in the wrong position. It should be in about the middle so that when the end gear cover is open, the flare on the cover presses down on the collar (and thus the rod) and prevents the drive from engaging. Also, this prevents the end gear cover from being opened when the drive is engaged Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb |
