Looks a good find  :beer:

tom osselton:
Nice job!

RotarySMP:
Thanks guys.

It is pretty well used, but still a fine tool.

Well, that first motor mount undercoating was crap, so I sanded it back and redid it.

Then I needed to make up an adaptor plate to mount my 4 jaw to my only chuck back plate. The slug of steel was a drop form Fixmetal. It is too thick, but I figured it would be waste to turn 70% into swarf, since I can reuse it for something else once I get the new backplates which are ordered.

The parts I order fro Mädler.de showed up (within two days of ordering - nice), so I bored out the timing belt cogs, and shaped a keyway in the one which goes on the leadscrew. Since my keyway cutter is 3mm I had to do it in two passes.

Regards,
Mark

Now the top coat has dried, and I could install it.

RotarySMP:
Although I am installing the ELS for threading, I am enjoying manual turning, so I would like to tighten up the excessive play in the saddle drive.

I bought some sintered bronze bushes from Maedler.de, figuring I just need to bore out and bush the handle casting on the apron. The Shaft is also worn 0.25mm, so I'll have to turn that back and sleeve it as well. When I looked at the shaft on the apron, with the pinion which meshes with the rack, it also has 04mm play, so I'll need to pull the apron, bush that hole, sleeve it's shaft, and the add a second busing into the handle casting.

I'll order 11mm and 14mm reamers for this job, and get on with something else in the mean time.
