    Hendeyman, I am having binding issues with my cone head lathe (#17203). I have some questions I was hoping you would answer for me. I have read a lot about the proper spindle shim size. What should this shim be made of? Could you explain the procedure for adjusting the bearings after the...

    Hendey lathe

    Thanks for all of the info. This lathe still has the taper attachment and oil pan. It has been completely restored within the last 10 years and used very little of at all since

    Hendey lathe

    I recently got a hendey lathe and I was hoping someone here may be able to tell me about it. The serial number is 17203. It will swing 14 or 15 inches and is about 30 inches between centers.
