Repairing a Cub Lathe
Rob.Wilson:
Hi Lads
A bit of an update on this thread :D ,, i thought it was aboot time i did a bit more work on the old lathe :dremel: .. spent the past few nights on her . put the head stock end all back together , and finished off the screw cutting gear box repairs.
Spent a shift scraping the saddle to get that back into shape and fitted the tapper turning attachment
Finished off machining up the clutch and other parts for the apron gear box and rebuilt it :dremel:
And tonight i fitted the apron back on the lathe :)
I still have a good bit of work left to do :dremel: ,, and there is still a bit of green hammershite paint to be removed from the tail stock and cross slide :bang: :bang:

Looking mighty fine Rob, looks like its not far away from creating some swarf :thumbup: I fancy painting my old Victoria horizontal miller, Do you use a primer at all? I have a couple of tins of Johnsons floor paint (good old grey) that I could use on it, I'm just wondering if I could get away with just sanding the machine surfaces down and then whop some paint on :scratch:
Cheers

That apron looks great. A lot of work, to be sure.
