OK gentlemen, I've got a problem and need your help. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out what is going on. I'm trying to thread a 1.1/2-8 OD...
David, the threading dial not needed. Your leadscrew matches the thread. pull in the 1/2 nuts anytime. Your trouble may be wornout 1/2 nut threads or they are...
I will measure them again for sure, but I don't get 8TPI. It is somewhere around 10TPI. This is the strangest thing... David ... threads. ... I ... pass. I ...
Are you sure you are using the half nuts and not the Clutch? For threading you must use the half nuts. The fact that the pitch is faster leads me to believe...
Check your gear train again. I'll bet you are using a 48 tooth instead of a 56 tooth. Neal ... From: "aquanutscrr" <aquanutscrr@...> OK gentlemen, I've...
Alright, I've got some more info. I've gone through the manual and found something intersting. This lathe has a 24 tooth reverse gear. I've confirmed that it...
It seems that your headstock is offset. You will have to loosen the headstock holding bolts and slide it on the bed until the stud gear lines up with the gear...
Hello :) I just bought a heavy 10 south bend lathe with the old cast iron stand 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks and a taper attachment for $400. Ive a bunch of...

Guy Cadrin, You nailed it! I just finished fixing the headstock. I was again trying to figure out why the gears didn't line up when I noticed the headstock...
... I've looked closer at the old locomotive I'm restoring. The screws are 12-27 and are rather mangled. The tapped holes in the iron frame pieces are 12-26,...
I just bought a heavy 10 with 3 phase motor and need to hook the motor to my vfd. The 3 wires comming out of the motor are all the same color...does it matter...

I am willing to make (rebuild) all south bend cros slide scews either type (taper and non taper attachment screws) for a very reasonable price. It will be...
I have just bought a heavy 10 lathe and started testing it to see what it needs. I have found that in the 3 jaw chuck with a peice of 12l14 round stock...
Firstly, I don't know why your HS is pinned. It should be secured to the bed with cap screws. The fact that it is pinned, has very little to do with your taper...
