Hi Bob I had mine brazed, and it appears to be holding fine. Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have an unbroken one, though. Shoot me an email off the...
The Spindle of the 109 lathes are refered to as 1/2 inch spindles. My spindle measures about .551/552 at the gear end which is no big mystery but that sure is...
The nose, or end, of the spindle is ½” x 20 TPI (Threads per inch). The main shaft is 0.550” diameter (+0, -001). To find out if you need a new spindle,...
I think I need a bushing for the gear end because it is awful sloppy. If the bushing is worn, then checking the thread end runout would be futile wouldn't...
The bushing is reamed with a 0.550" reamer. Thanks, Bill Bill Hardin (703)450-4270 http://www.homeshopsupply.com Craftsman 109 Lathe Support, Parts,...
I understand light oil is used on the lathe but isn't something heavier used on the Back Gear? I am planning on using a DC motor with a controller and won't...
Vern, I have a Controller. I need a 24 VDC Power Supply. I'm just unsure how much current I need the supply to provide. The higher the current output, the...
Greetings everyone,Just a reminder that Bill sells all the manuals at home shop supply including a book with a bunch of updates for the 109 lathe and he sells...

My change gear spider is cracked on my 109.21270. I wrote to Bill to ask if he had a replacement. My spider works okay, but it sags. I'm wondering if a...
Hey all. It has come to the time when I must part with some toys. I have a 109.21280 that I will be selling. It appears to be complete, yet is in need of a...
Hello, All Here is a topic for general consideration of all concerned. I deleted a link to an eBay seller yesterday, as well as his message about his link....
Hello Bill, I couldn't agree more. I too am slightly sickened when I see an otherwise perfectly good machine (or easily salvageable project) disassembled and...
I am surprised at the reactiopn I got to simply trying to supply a link to help people find parts for the 109. First was the assumption that I am the seller...
Hello Bill, I think that your position on this subject is entirely reasonable. I also hate to see a complete machine parted out, rather than restored to...
Hey Vern, No need to fall on your sword on our account. I don't think anybody held anything against YOU. I hope you'll reconsider jumping ship over such a...
Vern, in all fairness, I'm going to be parting one out as well. So there are more than one of us. That's not quite all the story, but what the heck, no sense...
