    Hendey Tool & Gage Lathe Taper Attachment Questions

    For those of you who have a Hendey T&G lathe - what do you do with the taper attachment when it's not in use? Being that the travel of the attachment is fairly short, it doesn't travel with the carriage and there is no easy way to remove the sliding block. Do you loosen the mounting bolts and...

    Align power feed for Wells Index 747 mill (80s Mfr)

    Yeah, exactly right. It’s for the original table feed, there would have been a hex bar running through the table below the lead screw and i believe a gear or two inside the casting to drive the lead screw. I thought about removing the whole thing but would have had to shorten the lead screw or...

    Align power feed for Wells Index 747 mill (80s Mfr)

    I did the same thing with my 645 and Align power feed - I bought the Bridgeport version from Precision Matthews. I tossed the Bridgeport mounting hardware and made everything custom - I shaped some aluminum flat plate to the match the original cast bracket and turned an aluminum disk as a...

    Which lathes can cut threads against stop more than Hardinge ?

    I've searched around, but haven't been able to find any info about this - do you happen to have any photos or even a description of the mechanism(s)? Sounds like it would be a great feature to have.

    FS: Pratt & Whitney G-2100 Supermicrometer

    Selling a Pratt & Whitney G-2100 Supermicrometer. Needs a cleaning, but works perfectly. I have used it to compare parts for bearing/press fits from gage block stacks, but find that I don't do as much comparative measuring as I would need to make this entirely useful in my shop. It is rather...

    Hendey T&G

    I have been in contact with Hendeyman regarding the original purchase order, wiring diagrams, and parts drawings for the missing taper attachment parts. Today, the copies he made of the originals arrived. The order was placed 10/11/1951 and shipped 09/26/1952, and the original purchase order...

    Hendey T&G

    Today, I spent a bit of time trying to track down any faults in the electrical when I realized I'd only blindly followed the wiring from the original cord into the breaker box so that the AC motor was spinning the wrong way (counterclockwise). There happens to be a brass plate on the motor with...

    Hendey T&G

    Thanks for that - I noticed the timer when I tried starting it, and noted the tube was glowing when the ac motor was running, then grew brighter when the timer reached contact at the end of its travel. Any idea what the switch above the timer with settings of ‘L N H’ does? It is currently at N...

    Hendey T&G

    Today I wired up the lathe to test the drive system - the AC generator works no problem but I'm not getting anything from the DC motor. While I wait for the wiring diagram from Hendeyman, wonder if anyone has some insight on common problems with this drive system that I can begin diagnosing?

    Hendeyman - I’m sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. Thank you for the response but no rush on the info. The lathe has made it safely to my shop and I won’t be able to dig into this project for a few days anyhow.

    Long time listener, first time caller. I took ownership of a Hendey Tool and Gage Makers Lathe yesterday, SN 38246H1228 It was not under power, so I could not test the drive - I’m told it was running, but has been sitting unused for a few years. inspection showed this to be in great...
