    Help with lathe identification please

    Does anybody know what brand this lathe is? It is for sale near me and I plan to look at it Saturday. The seller isn't offering any more information. I have spent quite a bit of time on lathes dot UK and haven't found it yet. As a non-expert, I think the apron clutch knobs look old, it has...

    Tie Bar Hendey spindle bearings

    I finally got around to removing the spindle from my 14" Hendey to adjust the end play. I have always been uneasy by what I saw through the oil fill hole for the right hand bearing. The drawing and descriptions I have read indicate the bearing should be oriented with the groove for the oiling...

    30 inch 10EE for sale

    I hesitate to place this in the "For Sale" forum since it is not mine and I have no connection with the seller. If this is not ok here, please delete. I was in a shop in the St. Louis area whose owner is retiring and one item for sale is a 10EE 12x 30. It has been retrofitted with a 5 hp...

    Photos of my shaper!

    This is my first attempt at attaching photos directly from my computer so I hope it went well. If the photos are indeed present, you will notice my shaper is a model and I don't think any of it is cast. The size relationship between parts looks about right. Was this likely a kit? Plans using...

    R Head mounting the same as M Head?

    Hi, I've had a "R head" on a home made adapter on a small horizontal mill for several years and would like to mount it on a larger mill now and have found factory adapters here and there for "M heads" but no mention of the "R". The mounting bolt pattern looks the same in photos but does...

    Sensitivity to Coolant

    I have developed a sensitivity to coolant. The specific coolant we use is a Rustlick product, it is Power chip 2000. It is a synthetic coolant and does a very good job of preserving tooling but I developed a skin rash that is not pleasant when operating machines that use this coolant. A short...

    Photos of my "New" Van Norman 12

    It has been a while since I posted pics so this is somewhat experimental. I bought this machine a couple of months ago and am just now getting around to showing it off. It isn't perfect but it's pretty nice. Pics are with my iphone 3. Rick I see the photos are not turned right and I...

    Re: Hendey Speeds

    Re: Hendey Speeds Hendeyman kindly posted counter shaft speeds for cone head lathes a while back. I have a 14 inch conehead with a non-Hendey overhead drive attached to the lathe. With the setup I have, it would be easier for me to attain speeds closer to 12 inch speeds. Does anyone think I...

    Hendey Photos(I hope) and questions

    < These are not the best photos but they will show my "new" lathe. I may not have them sized correctly. I read that 14" lathes could have 2H or 3H collets; mine has 2H. Did the 2 different spindles differ in ID dimensions only? The spindle threads measure 2.230 X 6; same as listed...

    Hendey is home! (was Help with tie bar Hendey)

    We got the 14x6 Hendey home and have begun to clean and inspect it. I have been looking at the manual scan and reading Hendey posts. I took several photos but upon downloading realized they are not good enough; I must take more. There is no serial number; I even took a photo of the area...

    Harig Manual

    I have a Super 612 that was badly abused and neglected but was priced "right" and has been on the back burner for about 5 years. I now have some use for it and began fixing some of the obvious problems but longed for a manual. Today I called Harig and expect to be transferred and asked...

    Info on Van Norman #20?

    Hi All, My son and I picked up a #20 mill yesterday and we are looking for any info. This one has a "Sub Head" installed w/5V or C collets but the main head is larger, with a short taper like #30 or #40. We got two arbors, one for each head and a shell mill holder for the small head and 9...

    Identifying early Marlin pump shotgun?

    Sad days at our house, my father-in-law's Alzheimers has progressed to the point that he asked me to take his guns to our house. I piddle with guns and set about cleaning and oiling them. His father's old pump Marlin hammer gun is the one I am asking about. I found a very good (15 pages)...

    Help with Tie Bar Hendey

    I looked at a Tie Bar Hendey yesterday and couldn't turn the spindle by hand. I checked the oil and then overfilled it until it ran out of headstock on both ends. Used a 2x4 in the 4 jaw and it took considerable pressure to turn and it seemed to remain consistent. The cone pulleys are free...

    Ebay Second Chance spoof?

    I think we have been spoofed. My son bid $1200+ on a tool box, at closing it had a top bid of $1600+ and "reserve not met". We got an email from the individual with a very official looking/sounding page offering to sell it to him for the $1200+; remember the reserve was > $1600. We checked...

    Collet drawbar questions

    I made a spindle adapter for my Sheldon 11" lathe to fit 4NS collets that I got with a lot of other things; now I am making the drawbar. I threaded the inside of a piece of tubing and now I know why drawbars usually have the collet threads in a separate piece! Worked ok but the weld caused some...

    Should I buy a Cinncinati No.2?

    I looked at a Cinncinati No. 2 horizontal mill that will be on an auction. It is the only machine tool offered. It looks pretty good; not much backlash, table is decent, etc. It was banded to a pallet and I couldn't look at the motor, what hp does a #2 use? This is not something I really...

    Manual duplicating attachment on mill?

    My Vernon mill/jig borer has what I believe duplicating attachment. It is the verical spindle to the right of the powered spindle. It moves(vertically) with the main spindle and can be adjusted about 1" independently of the main spindle. It has a #1 Morse taper and could use a drawbar. Can...
