Nick, I have the original topslide. The nut has more backlash than I care to admit though... The lathe, at present, is original other than the 3 phase motor I've fitted, and the QCTP I'll be fitting next week. I cannot for the life of me though figure out the backgear system. Unfortunately I'm missing a LOT of the changewheels, and no 4 jaw chuck. I might have to try turning a backplate at some time in the near future, and picking up a chuck. Have you done any mods to the lathe at all? Adam. |

Afternoon, Ive spent the morning making lots of tinsel out of ali. Ralph's arbor suggestion in use - The turret fitted - I am really pleased with the results - the mandrel really made it all work for me. Re the countersunk bolt to supply tension between the base and the Turret - the one I have is clearly too short, looks like ill have to wait until after Christmas now but I will try your suggested method of making it fit. In the meantime I can start on the toolpost and swivel arm. It would be great to get it working before I return to work when my freetime will be siginificantly reduced. Adam, have PMed you about the Barker. Merry Christmas everyone. Nick |

Nick, do not forget that you need to keep swarf out of the thrust bearing. Joe |
| MadNick:
Thanks Joe, Im working on a collar for that :) Nice bike BTW - is that you? Nick |
| 75Plus:
:offtopic: Yep, that's me. The bike was a 1952 Harley 45 cu. in. flathead. The picture was taken in 1956. A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then. Joe |
