Rob,

Did you make the one piece gear using the shaper or the lathe? I can't tell by the picture but it looks like it's chucked up in the lathe, unless you have a fixture on your shaper for mounting the chuck. Chin

Another awesome job Rob, that lathe will be better than new. I always got the impression that Churchills were good lathes, is it just the Cub that was poor build quality, or do you just thing this one has been badly treated?

Hi Ed  Smile


I machined the gear teeth on the shaper , mounting the dividing head needed me to make a table attachment . 

welded up a bit 3/4 plate .

Needs must  Big Grin  , did the job a charm , I now have a different shaper so I need to make another mount for the dividing head  , I tried to sell the Alba shaper , had it up for sale for the 

princely sum of ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,wait for it ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,£45 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and got nothing but grief/idiots  , so I recycled it   . 

turned the box into a cracking box angle plate .

Kept the brooks motor ,pulleys and lead screws ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and scrapped the rest    and the moral is recycling is much less hassle Cool 

Anyway I have gone  Sign0006  , went to see the bearing man today Slaphead  , hens teeth , rocking horse ***** and  other sayings were banded about   , lots of cash ,will have to be made and min order of 50 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,loonacy  Bash      good job I have a plan ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,50 my arse !

Hi Rob, good to see you back on the Cub, that bearing has past its best it's safe to say. Hope your plan works out as having 49 spare bearings and no money does not seem like a good way to go lol.

I had a feeling the bearing may have been a none starter being that the lathe is nearly 70 years old  , So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I picked up a couple of TR bearings today

that will go back to back something like this  Popcorn they actually have a better load and speed rating .

so getting closer , I will need to make a cartridge to hold the bearings  and bore the head stock  Smiley-signs024

Be well worth doing
I bet there is a brand new bearing in a drawer just waiting to be found
