Boley 4LV
RotarySMP:
Today I was out at my mates doing a casting seasion, and he ground down that bearing shim on his surface grinder. Cool tools those.
RotarySMP:
Not sure if this is interesting for anyone...
A Gentleman from a German forum sent me his dummy bearing to support the LH end of the shaft, so I scraped in the main bearing over Easter.
I checked the run out of the spindle. There a couple of tiny defects (which I can't see) which kick the TIR to 0.0004" / 0.01mm at the collet taper.

The Chuck alignment boss is "perfect" within the limits of my measuring equipment.

Just waiting for a new seal, and need to surface grind the new shim, and I can put it back together.

Ground the new spacer shim yesterday, seal arrived, so I can reassemble that lathe this week. With the forward bearing spacer shim ground to 2.14mm, I have about 0.012mm play in the bearing. This needs to be about 0.02mm, so I'll have to add another 0.02mm shim to increase it.
On Saturday, I plopped the top slide on the surface table to have a look at it. As expected, it has worn a bit hollow, so I started scrapping it.

Hi nice job you are making of getting your lathe into shape. I think it uses some of the same parts as my 5 LZ .
Do you have the collet chuck . I only have part of mine and would like to make the missing parts

RotarySMP:
Hi Mike,
Thanks for the encouragement.
I don't have a collet chuck, or do you mean collet closer for the 358E / W23 / A12 collets?
Yesterday I didn't feel like reassembling the spindle, so finished stripping the compound down to piece parts. It is in pretty good condition, except the paint which is almost completely gone, and an extra M12 threaded hole in the top slide.
