    Leblond Servo Shifting Issue

    Leblond Servo Shift question. When shifting, I spin the shift knob while in neutral, apply the brake, spindle oscillates, gears shift, but the spindle speed is not consistent. That is, I may request 300 rpm, I get 300 rpm. I move to 600 rpm, I get 150 rpm, etc. Any thoughts? Thanks! Jeff

    Harig 618 Automatic II Manual

    All, I recently purchased a mid-70's Harig 618 Automatic II surface grinder. I am excited about putting it to work, and I am wondering if someone here may have an instruction/owner's manual for this machine.

    Thank you for the offer, but memphisjed was generous enough to offer me a piece of material. Always appreciative of all the support coming from this group and the sarcasm that typically comes with it!

    Material for Chuck Back Plate

    I am not sure I understand the question completely, but my plan is to stick the stock material in a chuck a drill/bore/thread the hole. I'll thread the rough plate onto the spindle for the remaining turning work. That said, a disc should work just fine. Thanks! Jeff

    Material for Chuck Back Plate

    I sincerely appreciate the input. I made a thread gauge and machined a face plate a few years ago. The threads aren’t tapered. I’m just looking for a suitable material at a reasonable price.

    Material for Chuck Back Plate

    That would be awesome. Just need to find someone who is willing to do that for me. Anyone on here willing to drop some scrap in a box or cut something for me from a larger plate for a fair price? I would be grateful. Thanks! Jeff

    Material for Chuck Back Plate

    I would like to purchase a 10” diameter steel round bar to machine into a lathe back plate for a chuck on my 13” Leblond Regal. I imagine I will need something over 1” thick. What I can find on the web seems a bit expensive. Any ideas? Thanks! Jeff
