ahh i get it now, you use autocad per chance? i started off as a auto cad technician but ive lost my copy now so im kinda stuck when it comes to technical drawings. let alone the animations and whatever ive got saved on here!

 

 

created using the fantastic ms paint...

 

im going to go ask the local precision engineering company to machine up a new spindle for it when eryc get their finger out and pay me.

 

ive got it all back together now and it seems better, still think the outboard end is bent though

-na, would've take too long in auto crap, I use solidworks.

 

Nothting wrong with a bit of ms paint.

 

If you get a new spindle made up, have you thought about modifying the design a bit, i.e. put RH threads on both ends, that way your chucking will work inboard and out... all induction motors single or 3 phase will work in either direction... a really good up great upgrade is speed control- that will also give FWD & REV... check out drives direct

 

Sorry for the choppy reaply in a rush

Aye solid works is pretty good, not used in a while though!

 

I am debating modifying it, thoughi m leaning towards 1x8tpi, lh and rh respectivley. as i can get the 1x8tpi duel threaded inserts and face plates easier than the 10tpi.

well the lathe seems better, but defo having a new spindle made at some point!

 

made a new tool rack this aft, cost me the grand total of nothing, all bits, inc screws from the wood pile!

 

 

took about 40 mins from scrap to there.

its the shortest so i made the rack to fit that.

 

Its exactly the same length as when i bought it! dont think it was new when i got the set mind.

 

ive got about 15 i think, only really use 5-6 of em though, 1" round, 3/4 square, 3/8 bowl gouge, 1/2 bowl gouge, 3/8 spindle gouge, and a 1" oval skew.

all record, got a set of 12 for 90 quid or so.

 

I got tired of putting them on the bench and the bastards rolling off!
