Love the solidity and all the curves on this era machine. You knlow it's going to be a handsome addition to the shop when it is finished.
What the he... was that gear a worm wheel, or is it just stripped into that shape?
Aye she has canny curves Steve ,,,,,,,,,,,yer that was a worm wheel (once upon a time )
Great value Rob. You could put some of those bits on ebay and have a lathe for less than nothing.
But - another project - have you finished the CNC mill and the forge yet?
Russell
I could do Russell , but I would rather keep all the tooling , you cant have enough tooling
yer I no , I have way to many projects on the go
Me thinks I just like faffing about in the back yard
Rob,
No sign of the lead screw or feed shaft in your pictures - do you have them?
Hi Andrew yer I have the lead screw and feed shaft
, I took the machine apart at work to see what was buggered and also to lighten the load a tad .
Nice haul! It's gonna look great once it's tidied up.
Cheers Simon , aye she should look better in Gray
Rob
