I'd like to have a look at how you did the DRO's on your Heavy Ten. So far I only them on the carriage, and tail stock. Thanks Anthony

As for the flat belt I installed a Swiss habasit belt with beveled glue laps, completely noise free. I did this after first trying leather, and a serp. auto belt. Besides the lack of noise, as it is m

Folks, after inspecting, cleaning, lubing etc. not giving an improvement, I'm thinking that this problem might not be anywhere in the top end. How about disconnecting the flat belt and spinning the to

Welcome --------------------------------------------

The torque I have now with the A C motor is not the problem. The spindle speed, even with the back gear engaged is faster than ideal for Me (130rpm) when single pointing threads. That alone is the rea

Thanks, for what a stick on label is worth it shows 2hp. Maintaining the low speed torque I have with 3/4hp ac motor now in use would be good. --------------------------------------------

I have no idea exactly how either of the speed controllers that I have function. I do appreciate you taking the time to reply. --------------------------------------------

Both of the speed controls have A C input (A C to D C converters) the OEM Chi/Com controller has a soft start feature, that from what I've seen most folks try to eliminate. ---------------------------

Now that's interesting. If that's correct, the range want to run the motor wouldn't be a problem. --------------------------------------------

My 10L has a home built drive system. Using a 110v A C motor 1725 rpm, low spd =469 rpm........med spd =743 rpm........hi spd = 1223 rpm. Using the back gear it's 130 rpm, 270 rpm, and 377 rpm. I've b

Anyone had any acceptable performance swapping a Chi/Com treadmill motor on a Heavy Ten? I'm wondering how much torque they develop at low speeds.

This is what I use Mobil Velocite No. 10 Mineral Base Oil And I believe it was recommended S B --------------------------------------------

Has anyone found an accurate 4" 5C mount three jaw chuck with a 1" through bore that is reasonably priced? I've that most of them have a good deal more run out than they advertise. Thanks

Let's get some Heavy Ten dials in there soon. Nice Steve --------------------------------------------

Nice Steve..I take it that there will be more of these to come. --------------------------------------------

I don't think that there is anything better than 100% syn oil in a gas engine of any type. BUT, that motor oil is not specifically made for a spindle oiling system that depends on felt wicks to supply

I have been running my Heavy Ten with a 110v ac 3/4hp (size 56 case?) for more than 20+ yrs. No complaints so far. --------------------------------------------

Thanks I'd like to remove the pin and replace it with something that fits the slot a little tighter. Whats the best way to remove that pin? Drill and tap it and use a slide hammer to nudge it out? ---

Anyone know where the key is located that keeps the tail stock shaft from rotating? It's a 1942 heavy ten if that makes any difference. Thanks

Thanks to all of you that replied. At this time it looks like what I want is not readily available, so I'll just continue to use my ER32 to 5C adapter. Anthony
