Thanks guys. I've only done a few things with the lathe so far. My first real project is an oscillating engine (http://s176.photobucket.com/albums/w174/upand_at_them/PM2A_build/). It's nearly done, I just have to finish the frame and make a stand. I got sidetracked, because I decided to make a faceplate balancing fixture so that I could machine the back of the frame. I have that halfway done, because it led to finding out that my headstock is out of alignment. I have a handful of these half-started projects that hopefully will all domino into completion once I finish putting my lathe back together. This past weekend I did some fixes to the apron: Which, interestingly enough, has created another project. I have to enlarge that gear hole in the cover, no problem. But I found that one of the gears needs to be faced 5 thou or so to fit. And since my lathe is apart, my next project is to fix the saddle gib plates. I don't have a big mill like Darren's lathe got to see, so I think I'll be using shims. Mike |
