At this stage it would have been good to say it worked fine, but when fitted to the lathe, the handwheel was in the way. :scratch: Alas, I had forgotten the extra thickness on the bottom of the ram pivot, so milled 3mm off, (pic 1) shows temporary 10mm pin for checking clearance. Now sorted (Pic 2) Pete PS Nearly forgot. Enormous thanks to Rob Wilson for his inspiration and assistance. :thumbup: |

Very nicely machined Pete :thumbup: Looks like your well on the way to having this finished :dremel: Rob |
| Biggles:
Nice work pete, I see CES are advertising a casting but with no price! :coffee: |
| Spurry:
Rob & Biggles, thanks for comments. Rob, you cannot rush these jobs. :bugeye: Biggles, not much improvement to replies #19, #20 and #21 then. :doh: Their casting would not be much use, (to me) without a large mounting plate underneath it. Pete |

No point in rushing indeed, mine started as a lever operated tailstock that looked like a quick conversion, but obviously wasn't. I then made the fabricated body and got bogged down with other stuff for ummmm, about 6 years! Well, I needed to let the fabrication settle down and stress-relieve, didn't want it moving about once I'd flattened the base now would I? It's made to fit in place of the compound slide on my S&B Sabel and with minor modification can fit on either of my other lathes. it'll obviously also fit a Boxford or SB9 as is. The link bearings are a bit small for preference, but with the work load it's likely to get I don't see it as an issue. I finally only finished it last week because someone else wants to borrow it. It goes without saying that the job for which I had it ear marked turned out differently and it wasn't needed and I now have a slotting head for the mill in any case...... Ho hummm Richard |
