My Cowells ME lathe
raynerd:
Andy, really interesting thoughts and I like the latter suggestions as it involves less possibly destructive modification. I'll have to think about it more... I've not made any graduated rings but have the gear to do it.
I am mnbylcr2 on yahoo - it is a very old yahoo mail address but the only way to access yahoo groups.

Hi Chris,
In case it's of any interest, I've created a temporary page on my website and put three annotated pics of my cross slide dial on it, both dismantled and mantled (that should be a word, but is it?) .
http://andysmachines.weebly.com/perris-dials.html
I find that easier than using Photobucket. The most time-consuming bit of the exercise was finding the 2.5mm ball bearing after dropping it on the floor :bang: .
Let me know when you've seen the photos, and I'll then delete that page (so download them if you want to see them again).

It would be appreciated by myself as well as future viewers of this thread if you could put a link to the photos in question in Photobucket or attach them to this thread. Once you delete them from your website they will no longer be available to interested readers.
These posts get read for years and it might be just what someone such as yourself needs but the infomation is no longer there. I have many times read old posts on forums and the missing photos left me very dissapointed. Thanks for understanding.
Happy New Year.
Cheers :beer:

Don, all my pictures in other topics are on P'bucket, but I didn't think the details of dial collars on a relatively rare micro-lathe from 40 years ago would be of much interest in to posterity.
But your word is my command :bow: :bow: , and I'll stick 'em on P'bucket and embed them in this thread before deleting my web page.

It is very much appreciated. Granted it will probably not be the most popular ever topic on MadModder but if one member comes along sometime in the future and it helps them out than it will have been worth while.

If it showed up once in 40 years there is a good chance it will show up again in the next 40. Thanks again.
