All day every day. This 48" Heavy Pattern 18 speed Selective Head was raised to swing 112" and here is one of those jobs that just barely fits.

John,

Did you design the part to fit the lathe?

Nope, that's some customer's piece.

Nice. How much work piece weight will that unit handle?

Somewhere I read that Babbitt was comfy at 1000 PSI. If that is so, the 10 X 13.75 front bearing should be comfy at 137,500 lbs. I doubt that the drum assy weighs more than 20,000 if that.

Yep - skinny and worn down at 72 - but still making things happen.

Thanks John

You'd have problems replacing it in this day and age.

Q - What's the speed range? - 112" dia = <> 29ft circ - 5 RPM & you're ''cooking'' HSS

Original range 1.2 to 187 on the 60" version of the 48" Heavy Pattern. Don't know if they slowed it down more than that or not.

Good thing I wasn't asked to guess the weight of that drum shaft - I missed it by 40K in my post above. About 60,000 Lbs going around in that lathe they claim.

JO, You look pretty normal?? In my mind I always had you pictured as some guy w/ an oversized noggin due to all the knowledge you seem to have.

Mark (morsetaper2) was kind enough to fix me up with these, which I could not find for the life of me.

Thumbnails are the two non PB photos that relate to this thread in Post #1
