Let's See Your Lathe
Would it really matter if I used different gears so long as they were all the same type? As I understand it as long as the ratio's are the same the end result should be the same. All I have to do is match the bore to fit the leadscrew and drive from the tumbler and also hope the overall gear size is near enough so that everything reaches from the tumbler acros the banjo and on to the lead screw, a myford gear would be much too small.
Or am I getting things very wrong ?

No, that should work. Try to stay close to module 1.6 (like 1.5 or 1.75) so they fit.

Got it all back together and very pleased with the result, it's a very chunky and sturdy machine and every thing moves smoothly, I only replaced the taper roller bearing at the back end of the main spindle and all's fine.

Got to get a motor hooked up first then get some tooling. Thinking about getting a quick change tool post, also need centers for the tailstock and a chuck key would help, what you see in the pics is all I got when I purchased it.

Not a bad idea, an option is to sell on as is and that may increase the value !

Sometimes everything comes together around the same time.....


On the weekend I sold my old 9" Hercus given to me by my father-in-law 30 years ago.
Yesterday I picked up a new (to me) old mill.
The new step-up transformer for my RPC build arrived today, so to tonight I was able to get the RPC running well enough to take a couple of test cuts on the 1987 Takisawa TSL1000D I bought late last year.
Compared to the flogged out pensioned off from a community training school Hercus, the well used Takisawa is amazing. I'm hanging out to use it for a real project, but have some higher priority jobs to get out of the way first Sadno
