To all 918 Owners, I was at an estate sale of a former Boeing employee and stranger than strange I found two Rivett Chucks three and four jaw to fit my 918's...
Hey David, I have a steady for my 918. It looks almost like a 608 steady--just the base is different. I'd like to see a picture of the one with a hinge. And...
Cecil, I'll post a pic. Yes i can send a tracing or I could CAD up a file and post it. Scraping is good I made a dovetail tool and plan on going at a...
Dear David, For the follower rest I think posting a file is the better idea. I am not in any hurry. Don mentioned another class. I am game and could make it...

As many of you know, the Rivett library is a set of 4 CDs which contains an enormous amount of information on the Rivett model 608 lathe and its predecessors,...
Frank- Nice to see all this info online. There is a lot of other machinery info on the NEMES site. A good home for the Rivett material. If someone wishes to...
I was wondering who many people are in need of thread dials for their 608's. I have a friend who needs one and I was going to look in to how much work it would...
I would certainly like to have one, especially if it looked right. I could cut the gears. I may even have the right sized bronze stock for the gear blanks....

Jon, et al, I had the bits for the hand turning tool rest cast in aluminum bronze from the foundry down the street. I made the patterns (thanks to the...
I was looking closely at the one on my lathe, and it looks as though they are made from cast iron. The local foundry does pretty much everything, specializing...
No luck so far at the foundry. He didn't seem very interested in casting such a small number of parts. I am trying to work on him still to see what his...
Jon, Thank you for your efforts. I know i recently saw a PM thread or maybe the Sheldon group thread talking about shops that do shrt run castings. I'll...
The guy I want to make this for, which caused me to get this started in the first place lurks on here, he may know someone else around here with a foundry, I...
Cecil, I don't think there is any demand for more than ten of these, unless other speak up. I am trying to find out what the foundry wants to do the smallest...
Jon, Depending on cost I would put away 8-10 castings plus I don't imagine this small bit would be very expensive. Cecil, I have an original and could model it...
David, No time pressure, of course, but a drawing would be nice. If castings aren't workable, I wonder if it would be feasible to machine the bodies. At lease...
C, We are on the same wavelength on CNC, I will look at my dial and take some preliminay measurements. D ... From: "Cecil Strange" <cecil_strange@...> To:...
Your best bet may be to check on the hobbicast or gingery lists to see if a hobbyist will cast them. The argument in favor being that, if they'll work on a...
Hello All: I have access to a foundry that does aluminum and silicon bronze. I could have these cast in any quantity. Best, Dan **************What's for...
