Hello all.
My Grandpa has a 1981 TWS BL-1237S, and asked me to do some research and find him a manual for it online. Although I cant find any sort of manual for it..
His question is how to tighten up the "slop" or "play" in the head
:coffee:
Thanks all,
Blake

It might help if you would tell us what type machine you need help with. Entering "1981 TWS BL-1237S" on Google returns nothing useful.

With that description, it maybe a variant of this LATHE (http://www.grizzly.com/products/12-x-36-Gear-Head-Cam-Lock-Spindle-Gap-Bed-Lathe/G4003). I imagine the manual is very close. MANUAL (http://cdn0.grizzly.com/partslists/g4003_pl.pdf)
Does it look sorta like this? Maybe different paint etc...

It may be my next lathe!

I believe the lathe Eric posted is a 12 X 36. I have been able to dig up a manual that can be downloaded for a 12 X 37, Belt Drive, lathe which may be a better match.
Blake look here to see if this one looks like the one your grandfather has.
