    Hendey taper problem

    I would not be surprised if Hendey had a special #10 1/2 taper. I know that they had special Morse tapers for lathes.

    Hendey taper problem

    A #10 should be about 1.25" at the big end and a #11 is about 1.5" at the big end. https://littlemachineshop.com/reference/tapers.php

    Information on Jack Shaft clutches

    I don't think they have a specific name, just a clutch pulley countershaft. Where the rod is between the two hangers, there should be a sliding rod there with a fork that fits into the slot on the cone. On the end of the sliding rod attaches a handle called a shipper rod which the operator moves...

    Antique tapered tap ID, please.

    They are not boiler taps per se, but are just early style general taps. They are not intended to produce a tapered threaded hole but are intended to be run all the way through the hole where the finished diameter is at the top of the tap. The form originated at a time when all that was done to...

    110 volts for 3 phase is unusual.

    No one is making money from them so I doubt that you can force them to be removed, also they must be online somewhere for the original poster to find them. Just in case, I saved them to my computer.

    Hendey 14x5, Serial #25247

    If your spindle is not tight in the bearings, I would just leave it as is and not worry about it. I am convinced that Hendey had lead mixed in with their tin Babbitt causing "tin pest" which is what destroys pot metal. Just add oil if too much runs out.

    Finishing Babbitt Bearings

    I would not worry about .0003" and would just go with it, it will wear in very quickly. If you just have to remove it, buy a cheap brake hone that you won't care that it gets Babbitt imbedded in it and hone it for a few seconds.

    Really Internal Morse Tapers

    When both companies made their first standards, they made them to .5" per foot and .6" per foot. Afterwards the standards were measured with greater accuracy and they were found to vary but by that time there was enough tooling out there to make it not worthwhile to correct the standards.

    Big Machine Tool Pics

    I've posted this one before but once again should be OK. This was at Bethlehem Steel.

    Hendey lathe serial 25634 value

    I would not go more than $400 if it is in decent shape, maybe double that if there is a lot of tooling with it. There are way more old lathes out there than there are people who want them.

    A Variable Speed Governor... breathing new life into an old Hit and Miss Engine

    If you use the DC to charge batteries, the speed variation won't matter.

    More shop items to sell #3

    Brown & Sharpe #9 is 1.0775" at the large end and #10 is 1.2597" and roughly 1/2" per foot. I am interested in #10 tooling.

    Overhead shaft vs motor mount

    It looks like a nice that with lots of tooling. I would not recommend running that lathe at 800 rpm no matter what that guy says. Unless you provide a pressure oiling system to the bearings, they will get hot because they were never designed to get rid of the heat generated at that rpm. The...

    Overhead shaft vs motor mount

    The countershaft speed should be more like 200 rpm, not 400. There is no need to bolt the lathe down, gravity will be just fine.

    Stark lathe (or so I believe)

    Shaking would indicate something is out of balance or running way too fast. Prying up under the chuck will tell you if the bearings are loose.

    Oesterlein Milling Machine

    Plain means it does not have a universal table that rotates for cutting spiral gears.
