evening all

 

Im off to look at a union jubilee lathe up for sale by some one on here, i forget his name!

 

Just wondering if anyone knows of a spindle thread adaptor for it?

its 1" 10tpi (bsf?) and the chuck is a fox fx4000. Which is exactly the same as the sorby and the nova chuck, ie all the sorby and nova extras fit it.

I just cant find a thread adaptor for the m33x3.5 in the chuck body to the spindle thread:thumbdown:

 

any ideas were i could find one?

Is this any use, they cost about £20, i've got 3 different inserts for various lathes.

Looking nice Ben, did you get the lathe ??

[pyro]

Not yet no Ian, They are off away for a few days so will be talking to them on wednesday. Bad bit about it is its missing the outboard tool post/rest so im currently looking at a floor standing one on the bay of e.

on second thoughts it could be rose wood as the wood smells of roses haha

I would see if you can get one made as i've noticed alot have got them missing, i'll keep an eye out as well as i'm looking at a few.

Cheers Ian, im capable of making one myself i think, a big section of box or angle iron bolted to the head stock using the existing holes and nab a tool post and slide from something else, should be workable i think!

 

i think the floor standing rest is going to be an aweful lot to post, its in milton keynes (land of the concrete cows) and im well, not. thankfully

That's a nice little square number, I'd say Yew from the pics. What finish did you use?

 

If you make the out-rigger bed to match the between centres bed, then you could just use the normal banjo tool post and just increase the T-rest stem height...
