Let's See Your Lathe

[kingcreaky]

thanks for all your kind comments. Im extremely fortunate. I assured the kind old boy who gave it to me that I would look after it; that I certainly will.

I cant believe its mine to be honest..

in regard to your questions in reference to the peace of equiptment behind the cross slide; I havent yet worked it out myself.

Its on a big hinge... so it can be folded into two positions...

So; I have enclosed plenty of pictures and call upon your wealth of experience













Seperately I could just be asking some lazy questions.. but I have searched the internet so thought id ask here just incase.


1.) The chuck appears to be held on using a L0 taper.. I need to buy a C spanner to disconnect (or change) the chuck... any ideas what C spanner im buying?

2.) Earlier on in this very same thread, a chap called "wrustle" starts a very interesting story (post 121) but it doesnt appear that it was ever finished... he said "to be continued" have I missed something? intrigued as to what happened next????!!!???
