I have OCD Roger…LOL, it’s a curse most of the time! I can see the shifter knob peaking out just above the hand wheel. Also I have a pristine 1935 405 bed that Turk send me a few years ago that I’ve s

This is a Workshop Catalog number 477, 6-speed Model B, made between late 1939 and late 1945. It has a keyed lead screw with an A-B apron, old style bed feet, bed mount switch with the wiring hole in

Hi Richard, I posted to your e-mail also, for a backup contact. >>>>>>>>>>>> Richard, I’ve uploaded a file for you to help locate parts here: wswells.com/download/9-N-R-T-S-unit-codes.html The reason

Hello Richard, Is it possible for you to post a few photos of the lathe and if you have any photos showing the missing parts? Also the serial number so we may confirm the model and year. Steve

There’s an error in size on the keyway shaft, where it says 0.645, that should be 0.6245…sorry Steve

Sam, If I understand correctly, you want to convert your Model B Leadscrew to a Model A. A gear box thrust collar is required on the Model A screw. 1.125 OD x 0.750 ID x 0.750 length. first check you

Excellent work Webb, impressive job you’ve done!! Steve

Al, I think Webb is correct, I seem to remember 0.1247 is the reamer size for the 1/8-inch dowel pins. They used this method in other parts areas also such as the cross slide bearing pre-load retainer

Very nice work Webb, looks perfect. Steve

Very nice work Rick!! Steve

Mine measures almost the same, 10-1/8’, this is subject to how far it is threaded into the clamp bracket. Steve

The original holes are 1/4-20 Mine is a 1967 that came with the tool room sundries. Steve

Webb, With the tray facing forward on the tube, the screw holes are at 0 degrees, or at the back of the spud. From the bottom edge of the spud rear, the first hole center is 0.250 and the second is 1.

Webb, If you need measurements of the support tube, I can take some photos of it on my 10L Toolroom lathe and mark them up. Steve

Webb, I believe it’s 30 degrees. Steve

The Workshop 9A would probably be the one to keep, longer bed, lots more accessories available, higher spindle speeds, better lubrication system. The hobby cash from the sale of the Letter series 9 wo

Thanks Ted, I'll correct that. That means it is the only one left, and I have the saddle off the other one. I keep breaking the old style finisher bit, my fault, not the machine, but I might have to s

Saving subject posts for the FTE webpage...:) Correct, the SBL automatic feed screw machine threads at 0 degrees, straight in, in both directions, reversing the spindle and leadscrew direction on fron
