    sorry for the radio silence. I’ve used the lathe for a couple small projects. Is so fun to run. The company I got it from hooked me up with the ATS 5C quick closer, a rohm 4 jaw and a bunch of Aloris axa stuff. (Definitely need a bxa setup as well with this rig) that they used with it. So that...

    I checked out the Tach. After removing all of the chips and thoroughly cleaning, I noticed that the top clock spring was broken. I “rewound” it with a couple pairs of tweezers and resoldered it. I hooked it up and it worked, but grossly off. But hooray it works. I’m probably going to sort a...

    It’s working great, and it has a fresh fill of V2. I’ve heard that they get plugged up, so I’ll keep an eye on it.

    I decided to start tackling the non functional Tach. I found that the generator is totally functional albeit a bit loose in all aspects. The piece of plastic that couples it to the shaft was broken. As far as I can tell, it’s just a piece of vinyl hose or something. The glass on the tach was...

    I was playing around with all of the back gears, threading etc after an oil change. I thought I did something bad because Forward “quit” working. After about an hour of trouble shooting in the electrical cab, and cleaning all of the electrical contacts on the contactors, it lead me back up to...

    I scanned the entire manual to upload, but it’s like 50 MB. I doubt the forum will let me upload. There are a bunch of option and price docs and brochures. I’d love to upload them, but for now PM if you’d like a copy as they are too big to attach.

    Hi All, I’m overdue for an update. I’ve got it up and running. I ended up using a backfed 6kva transformer. So far it’s working great. When I’m running the lathe at full speed (not cutting) the transformer and lathe together are drawing about 9.8A at 239V.

    I have a 10hp phase perfect for my garage equipment. The 7.5kva transformer is right on the cusp of acceptable, but I think it will get me up and running. It’s free, so I figured I’d give it a try before getting a bigger one. 7.5hp rotary is probably a bit on the small side, so I could see that...

    I’m sure it can be, I’ve poured over the schematic. It’s kind of weird how it generates the voltage for the speed control motor using the big motor as a transformer. The wires coming out of the control transformer are brittle as hell and I’d need to figure out different heaters. Looks straight...

    I’m in Broomfield CO now, I’ve been out here for about 13yrs.

    Learning so much already! Well, a full restoration isn’t in my future haha. fingers crossed it will suit my needs with a little spit shine, some gib adjusting, and new lube. It’s mainly for odd jobs that don’t require much precision as far a tool room lathes go. I was just reading in the...

    Haha thanks! Going to look into these inserts. That might be awesome if I can pull the inserts and have them reground or design new ones.
