    Tree J-250 Mill High/Low range question

    When setting a spindle speed above 1500 rpm, I get an alarm that says to shift to High range. Conversely, if the last speed was set above 1500 and the new speed is below that, I get an alarm asking to shift to Low range. As far as I can tell, there is now range lever or button. What am I missing...

    J-Line / Logon 8” Shaper belt replacement

    Hi all, I’m all set to begin refurbishing an 8” shaper and have a question or two for the experts here. This shaper is a J-Line made by Brodhead-Garrett. It’s essentially a Logon 8” shaper with a few minor improvements such as the externally mounted grease zerk for lubricating the vari drive. It...

    Gear head LeBlond spindle oil leak

    I have 13x48 LeBlond lathe that seems to be seeping oil from the spindle. I read somewhere this issue can be corrected by tightening the spindle up by turning the spanner lock nut in the gearbox. I have the manual for this lathe and have taken pictures of the spindle diagram which I’ll share...

    Dake Arbor Press parts.

    I was just given a used Dake Arbor Press Model 1 1/2 B. This a 3 ton press with a ratcheting handle and 48:1 gear ratio. It's missing pretty much all the parts but the main frame. I called Dake and who told me the replacement parts would cost as much as a new press! Since I can't see spending...

    BP J head noise in back gear

    My J head has a raspy noise when running in backgear whilst the spindle is raised to the full up position. The noise seems to go away once the spindle is lowered 1/2 " or so. I have attached a zipped audio file (.wma) of the noise. The cam pin's are new and tight, so I'm not suspecting that to...

    Rotary Phase Converter

    I've installed a 7hp rotary phase converter for powering my 3 phase Bridgeport Mill and Leblond Lathe. I put a 220 volt power switch between it and the 30 amp breaker in my circuit panel to facilitate turning it off/on. I read somewhere about the need for using a "magnetic" style power switch...
