hi as promised sum pics the work dun so far remove most of the old pant klen up of the chuck striped the tale stock striped out the head started to mack a adapter for a chuck to go on to the tale stock got sum stainless bar chucked it up in the lathe and drilled it 11m by 35 deep then taped it m12x1 witch i borrowed from work then cut it off by 15mm then screwed it on to the tale stock sleeve then turned the OD to 16mm then bored out the end to 12mm that is as far as i have got tonight will post sum more tomorrow right pics
Hi Bob , its looks in good overall condition from the photos so should be a nice small lathe once you are finished
, I look forward to seeing the project progress.
Cheers Mick.
hi as promised but late i finished off the tale stock adapter for the chuck pics
hi all well its all panted gnaw and i have a rotating head witch was given to me by mick thank you so much witch the jaws fit the chuck on the lathe so i don't need to look for a replacement chuck pad a visit to peters and he had a rummage and came up with a motor for it not a original motor but one that will do the job nicely so today i have spent striping the motor re-panting it and re wiring it it needs two new Bering's but their are plenty of them on the net right pics
I love the color you chose.
