Building a New Lathe

<< < (113/171) > >>

Boring through to fit the front register of the spindle.

vtsteam:
Then a clearance bore to fit the mounting flange.

vtsteam:
And a test fit on the new lathe spindle. Really nice fit. And the spindle flange is recessed into the faceplate instead of interfering with slot bolts, as the earlier hub had.

I also plan to lengthen those slots toward the flange. They could actually go right to the back flange (not the register you see in front) because there's still massive amounts of steel forward of the flange. It's a steel faceplate, not cast iron. That will give additional range for the slots. Enough to make this a useful faceplate after all.  :med:

vtsteam:
I got an email note that the belts had been delivered this evening, so I took a walk out to the mailbox, and there they were, two days ahead of time. So, belt on:

PekkaNF:
Starts to look like a proper Lathe!
