Nice 2 axis DRO. I have the same type 3 axis on my mill, and it has worked faultlessly for last 10 years.

awemawson:
Sad to see a very nice lathe neglected like that, and good to see it coming back to life.

It will serve you well in the future as a reward I’m sure.

mtf70:
Great machine and good to see it being brought back into use.

I have one of those still in the workshop at my parent's, bought it twenty or so years ago but never had room for it since I moved away.
Suppose I should spend some time on cleaning it up and think about moving it on as I don't foresee having room for it anytime soon and my parents aren't getting any younger.

Hi Cozy,
You had better get prepared to face the same mess in the carriage gearbox   :bang:
Coolant gets into the gearboxes easily on these lathes and displaces the oil
This caused a lot of damage on my larger model Triumph 2000  :(
I have been meaning to post a thread on the rebuild, Is there any interest in a thread on this?
