Rob,
No sign of the lead screw or feed shaft in your pictures - do you have them?
S. Heslop:
Nice haul! It's gonna look great once it's tidied up.

What the he... was that gear a worm wheel, or is it just stripped into that shape?

But - another project - have you finished the CNC mill and the forge yet? :lol:

Hi Andrew yer I have the lead screw and feed shaft :thumbup: , I took the machine apart at work to see what was buggered and also to lighten the load a tad .

Hi Rob
Great buy you have there, are you thinking of casting the worm wheel blank?
Looks a very interesting project, good luck, will be watching as things materialize.
Cheers David

Good work. Be good to see this running again.

Hi Lee , what flavour Churchill lathe do you have ? I have a Churchill/Redmans mk3 Cub :D

Hi rob. Mines a Churchill redman 7-CM. can't find any info about it anywhere :( other than its about a 1937 vintage. Still works well other than being very noisy (straight cut gears )
Looks like a good package you have there and hopefully a straight forward repair.
