Lever closer mounting on spindle
I can't seem to find the right picture or description, so hopefully this is an easy request. I picked up a lever closer for a different lathe. The draw tube will need to be remade for the correct length but that's not a big deal. And it's missing the part that attaches to the back end of the...- whateg0

Jacobs Rubber Flex 91 alignment key
I've not found a thread that discusses the key on the Jacobs 91 rubber flex alignment key, but I just bought a chuck and the key does not protrude to the front of the chuck body the way all of the pictures I've found online do. I am trying to find my smallest snapring pliers to get the ball... -

Not a rebuild or restoration - I swear!
Since I bought my 10EE, the cross-slide had a lot of play in it. The gib was tightened as much as it could be and the backside would lift when taking heavy cuts with a boring bar or when parting. The HS end of the carriage has always been low, as well, with the gib bearings not having enough...- whateg0

3D printed 10ee change gears
I've been thinking about the change gears needed to cut metric threads on my square dial. I know I can buy the set, and someday, I might, but it's a lot of money at the moment. I've seen 3d printed change gears used on lighter machines, and they seem to be okay. Any imprecision is lost by the...- whateg0

10ee Carriage stop rod question
My 10ee was missing the carriage stop, but I've seen pictures of it. I even saw one a few days ago, but didn't make note of any details at the time. I would like to make one. I had thought from pictures I've seen that it was just a round rod with a notch machined in it every half inch. I...- whateg0

ELSR Apron Sump Removal
While not needed for getting things apart right now, this is something I want to address before I start putting the bottom of my apron back together. When I went to remove the sump on my apron, at first I couldn't get it off because of the ELSR control rod. So, I got it out of the way. Then I...- whateg0

VFD speed control
I'll start by saying that I bought a cheap VFD off of ebay, but it seems to work aside from the lack of braking resistor capability. But it was long after I bought it before I was at the stage in the project to realize it, so it is what it is. That aside, I am using this on a lathe with a 2 hp...- whateg0

ELSR question
This may be a dumb question, but when the ELSR is switched to LH, which way does the spindle turn when the control rod/lever is pushed down? I am working on wiring in a VFD and I was hoping that the wires could just be pulled from the ELSR and used to drive the fwd and rev on the VFD. So far...- whateg0

Import telescoping gauges
I have a set of import telescoping gauges that I probably bought when Enco had a sale some time back. I've always known they weren't great, but they seemed far better than calipers for measuring bores. Back then I didn't know enough to think of old used tools. Now I still can't afford new... -

New Owner! New project!
Well, I haven't even made it home with my new to me 10ee. Gotta stop for the night, then I'll finish the drive tomorrow. Buddy of mine, Bob, convinced me to consider the 10ee and now I have one in tow, #32573. Here's what I know so far. The PO said that one day he went to use it and it...- whateg0
