Extending the cross slide travel on a 7 x 12 mini lathe

Twinsquirrel:
I'm glad you guys didn't shout at me for the live center/parting thing. I know it's silly but I'm a little wary of showing my setups sometimes in case I'm doing something stupid. I always think safety first though.

Darren,

This is the shaft that needs extending to accomodate the spacer.



Steve,

Am I right in thinking that you extended the threaded part of the shaft? I was thinking of just extending the non threaded part as I will not be fitting a bearing?

shoey51:
great job there Steve
I wouldnt be game to do that to mine

Twinsquirrel:
Shoey,

Nothing ventured nothing gained eh? He who dares, wins Rodney.

TS...
The shoulder flange of the lead screw goes between the old and new parts. You'll want to add on to the threaded end.

Steve

Twinsquirrel:
ah I see, I've counterbored the new spacer to keep the shoulder in its original position, I thought this might work?
