Looking for a large UMD spring for a light 10 (10k)
|
Rogan Creswick
I'd like to replace the large tension spring on my 10k -- this is the lathe that went through a fire, and it seems that the spring isn't returning quite like it should. It surely tempered in the fire (it was hot enough to melt the babbitt in other parts of the lathe). Regardless of my wisdom (or lack there of) in rebuilding this machine, I would like to replace this part, since the lathe turns within the tolerances I currently care about. I'm not sure how to find or replace this spring, though. This is the part for the *heavy* 10: but it's clearly too long for my light 10 (by about an inch). I haven't found any springs that look like suitable replacements on McMaster Carr, and I'm not sure where else to look. Thanks! Rogan

Hi There,
According to my parts manuals, the tension spring is the same for 9 inch, 10K, Heavy Ten and Thirteen models (PT2638NT2). Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb

If you're in the USA, try Home Depot/Lowes, or other hardware stores. IIRC, Steve Webb's site has a list of common hardware items cross-referenced to SB part numbers, and you might find that spring listed there, as well. Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live by: Good judgement comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgement. SEMPER GUMBY! Physics doesn't care about your schedule. The only reason I know anything is because I've done it wrong enough times to START to know better

Thanks! I don't know what I was measuring last night, but I checked again, and the spring on ebay does look right, so I'm just going with that. Thank you! --Rogan
