Hi all! Just joined this group not more than an hour ago, so I figured I'd jump right in! My Craftsman lathe looks identical to the pictures I've seen of the...

Can anyone tell me where I can find a back-gear unit for my 109 lathe? I could possibly build a replacement unit once I get index plates for my rotary table,...
If you are asking me, it is a great deal. Pay up to $75 and you have a back gear for going rate. The headstock casting, spindle and bearings, assuming all are...

I purchased a new half nut or feed lever from Bill Hardin last August for my 109.0703 and I am now just getting around to installing it. The problem is the...
Glenn, The new half nut has a fuller thread engagement, 180 degrees. The old one was less, not sure exactly what it was. We wanted as much as possible, not...
While I am above average in my mechanical abilities - I have had no instruction on a metal lathe. Bought "How to run a lathe" by South Bend Lathe works But I...
Garry, I have a parts list but it doesn't show how it goes together. If you have something that shows that, I would like it. My direct email address is below. ...
Bill, If you are saying that no shims are used, I think I have more problems. My shoulder nut protrudes through the new half nut by about .027 and about .017...
Glen It maybe that someone in the past did mill the carriage? I think I would see if I could find another carriage apron either from Bill Hardin or Ebay if he...

Got an old allen wrench?? Just grind it into a boring bar and bore out your piece of bronze. Be aware that some bronze can be very hard and difficult to...

... Yes ... I'd probably do the threading with a die, ideally with a die holder that fits the tailshaft. It doesn't appear that you got a set of threading...
... Yes, the gears are all there, AFAICT. There's a chart to show how to set the, and a small lever that locks the screw in while the lathe spins. That all...
... No, I just did not see them in any of the CL photos ... Ah, that makes sense. Most experienced machinists seem to choose to use a tap held in a tailstock...
... Isn't this the gears needed? http://softorchestra.com/images//lathe-aa-20630-02.jpg They look in pretty good shape, I thought you move them around to ...
... No, you *change* them out for different gears to cut different threads. What you have mounted on the lathe will cut *one* thread. You need a set,...
... Ok, but for now I just need to know what thread I have I guess. So, I can only cut a single thread with what I have? ... I will probably do that, because I...
