Yup. Fixed it David. |
| catch_22:
Hey great job on the lathe, looks pretty much how mine went, aside from the motor getting dropped :Doh: Did you get a chance to try the new 100mm spindle yet? |
| Brass_Machine:
Not yet. I did replace the half nut/hook thing with a full half nut. It works so much better. A more positive engagement. I still have to put the new spindle in, the extended cross slide and the tapered gibs. Just never enough hours in the day. |
| catch_22:
I also opted for the half nuts, I agree, they are much better. And the 20 tpi kit from LMS is also installed. I am ordering the materials for the saddle gibs as well, when I will get them built and installed is anyone's guess. Yea, definitely not enough hours in the day. |
| Brass_Machine:
Show us what you are doing. It can be of assistance to others (me!) Thanks Eric |
