| Mj189 Live centre |
| (1/1) |
| geoff_p:
Daft b*gger that I am, I assumed a live centre for an Emcomat C0 would fit my MJ189 - everyone says the MJ is a clone of t'other one. So away went my money, and back came a lovely little live centre. Complete with its 10.0mm shaft. A pity really, because the hole in my tailstock is 10.35mm. Since the Royal Mail charged considerably more than the item cost (>15 quid cv 11 quid) there's no way I can afford to return it and try to get a "right" one sent out to Thailand. What suggestions can you make? Geoff |

Can you turn up an adapter? Don't these lathe's tailstocks have a taper bore? If they do, an adapter just moves the center a little forward, to allow enough "meat" in the adapter. If it's a straight bore, I guess you could turn down the center shaft a little and then press fit on a sleeve turned back up to what is required. |
