Need info on Craftsman Lathe.
« on: August 03, 2010, 04:57:28 PM »
Can anyone tell me what size pulleys these are (http://www.lathes.co.uk/atlas/page3.html) in the drawing in this link? Also how many teeth are in the gears of the four backgears and, last the gear on the end of the spindle. Thank-you, Mike.

Hi! First, Thank-you to everyone who helped with this especially Pete. The answer:
This is for a 12’’ lathe with the motor to rear of the headstock.
Countershaft pulleys, 1st stage 7 3-8’’ od 6 3-8’’ id - 9’’ od 8 1-8’’ id. 2nd  stage (4-step) 3’’ od  2’’ id – 4’’ od 3’’ id – 5’’ od 4’’ id – 6’’ od 4 7-8’’ id.
Headstock pulleys, (4-step) 5 3-4’’ od 4 7-8’’ id – 5’’ od 3 7-8’’ id – 3 7-8’’ od 2 7-8’’ id – 2 7-7’’ od 1 7-8’’ id.
Backgears, on spindle – large 69T – small 30T – back shaft small 24T large 63T, this equals about 2.1x2.875=6.0375:1 overall.
The gear on the end of the spindle has 32T. This is what I needed, I hope it helps someone else (this information comes off the actual parts; your results may be different).

P.S. I asked this on three other boards!
