Hello all,
Recently I was gifted a Rivett 504, which is now my first proper lathe. For the full story go check out rivett608's "A Gift of a Rivett Lathe" thread which has all the details of how this came to be.
So we got it back to Tulsa Saturday night and then Sunday spent the day cleaning it and reassembling it. Nothing has been screwed down yet, its all just sitting loosely in place. I chose to do this as the drive system I'm going to be doing have to be mounted first before the lathe is bolted down. The drive system consists of the original countershaft, which will be connected to a Baldor DC motor and speed system much like a VFD.
Photos coming soon.
