Finally got round to lifting my Lathe into place and having a good look through the stuff it came with. Good points are it’s nice and smooth across the bed- doesn’t look to be much in the way of bed wear, does get tight at the very far end, but no play in the carriage there is some back lash in the cross slide/top slide, most of it I think is down to needing a good clean.
bad points: not a lot of tooling and when I’ve removed one of the 3 jaw Chuck jaws the spiral on the jaw is broken- inside the chuck looks perfect and no damage though- can anyone identify it? Stamped 8026 think
That’s the number to match the jaws though? Sticker with the maker is there but ineligible!
also came with a LK540 Pratt 4 jaw and a stack of gears 25,50,60,80x2,100,120,127.
Is anyone running one of these on a Transwave converter? Think I’d rather go down this route than the VFD as I’d need a step up VFD and it’s the two speed motor.
