Edgwick Lathe

I realised I hadn't looked under the shoe to see what was there... and sure enough, it's a ruddy great bolt head:



So I'd be tempted to go with Matt's solution: Adjust so it works, then weld to the bolt head so it jams in the shoe.

I have found a nut the correct size- so I am going to turn the "lump" on the end of the bolt down to the size of the hole in the nut, then weld it on. Then it will be as it was originally. I will post some pics when i've done it, but thanks for all the info guys.

Hi again, I have fixed the clamp by turning the old bolt head down and welding a nut on the end as I had planned. Have attached a pic, not the smartest job I'v ever done but it seems to do the job! Thanks again for all the info.

Hey Guys,

I am another EDGWICK 6.5-inch Lathe Mk. 1 owner .

Mine is fitted with a Pratt Burnerd 1210-02505 Precision 250mm chuck with 0.015" run out.

Any ideas ?
