Rob Id like to ask about that  taper attach .   what  type of steel and did ya harden it ? ...  i can use one for my Sb 10 heavy lathe   so if ya have an extra one send it my way .   we can trade something .. but with your talent doent look like ya need much ....

What id also like to know is when ya add a taper attach one  on a lathe that doenst have fit for it  do you need change the lead screw  or make attch to accommodate?
thanks

Hi Kenny , 

What steel do you have ?  any thing will do just cut it up and weld it together . I used plan old HR and  CR mild steel . 


]

Gave it a wee clean of today ,




There is a series of holes along the back of the lathe bed that facilitates the TTA being bolted anywhere along its length . 


I think the SB TTA is of the travelling type   , it moves with the carriage , same as the Boxford lathe I think .  Should not be to hard to make

Hi ,and thanks Kenny

If your anything like me or the other chaps on here you will probably have a project list so long that it would not fit on a new toilet roll ,so I know how it goes ,all in good time .

Its not what we make/do in or shops that matters ,,,,,,,,,,its being in there and having fun that counts .

Me I am just a fixer of machines that pratts about in his home shop when work lets me lol . good to see you have your lad involved in the shop ,thumbs up from me .


take it easy ,,,,,,,,,,Rob

This is so true Rob. I enjoy the process more than I do the results, usually anyway. Working in the shop is very therapeutic.

I'm not so sure about this ............. I think we have to make up our minds.  http://www.metalworkingfun.com/thread-26...l#pid47824 [quote from Ed " It's the thought that counts"

In fact it is the "tobacco that counts"
It said so on every packet of Players Navy Cut cigarettes 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ................

   

I astonish myself sometimes.

Dave,

I'm not sure I'd use the word "astonish".
