    Cannot transfer file from USB Haas TL-1

    No matter what program name I use I always get the same error message. "Alarm Disk No Program Name" I use o00000 or 1001 or anything else doesn't work. I'm using the Haas turning post as well as Mach3 generic turning with the same result. I'm new to file transfer with USB so what am I missing...

    Need help identifying this tailstock

    I'm not familiar with swiss lathes at all. I've looked at schaublin and Habegger photos and they look close. I guess it's missing the hand wheel. Label says "Made in Switzerland" Any idea what machine it might fit? Value? Thanks.

    10EE Apron Removal Jammed Half Nuts and Feed Direction Plunger

    I have read through related threads and believe I have a grasp on the inner workings of the clutch. I have reassembled the body making sure the pins aligned and witness marks are correct. I'm not sure if that is a broken setscrew or just damage from me trying to drive out an imaginary pin. I...

    10EE Apron Removal Jammed Half Nuts and Feed Direction Plunger

    Well, it turns out a good cleaning and lubrication of the half nut slides did the trick. I thoroughly cleaned the whole thing inside and out and tested the pump which is fine. Almost no visible wear on the bronze gear which drives the worm or anything else in there. Just dirty. I am some what...

    10EE Apron Removal Jammed Half Nuts and Feed Direction Plunger

    Starting to go through this new to me '46 square dial and found some issues with the carriage. The apron controls were very stiff and I was unable to raise the half nut lever or move the feed direction plunger. I dreaded removing the apron because this machine has a turret tailstock and I...

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    Went there today and it had all been scraped. I guess I'm lucky to have found and saved what I did but what shame to know what went in the dumpsters. 60 year old shop. So I guess I'll just have to push forward with what I have and figure this 10EE out. It's a very tight machine with no...

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    The tubes plugged in to the four sockets with labels GL-393A and one EL1 C . The front of the big cabinet has the 10 switches. I'll take better pics when I get back to the shop where it's waiting to be scraped.

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    Its a rotary phase I made years ago with a reliance C face inverter duty motor. Looks like everything's there behind that cover. Maybe I should take the panel out of the big cabinet. Might go back there tomorrow. Maybe I can find the speed pot and sprocket. I have the back gear shift linkage.

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    I got it into the shop today, disconnected the coolant pump and plugged it in. Speedometer reads 1500 rpm. Trying to figure out all the handles to see what works and what does not. I am going to figure out a work around to get the DC drive back up and running. While I'm learning how to do that...

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    Yes. There is just an on/off push button visible on top of the machine. Single speed.

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    Motor is a 3 HP 3 phase wired to 220V. Voltage is also split off to the coolant pump. It is disconnected from the rest of the machines wiring.

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    I'm sorry, I thought I mentioned earlier that the owner removed the DC motor and back gear and stuck that 3 phase motor in it. I think its 2 or 3 HP. He said the machine was awkward and cumbersome to use with all the switches and early automation for the turret the cabinet was designed for so...

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    I spoke at length today with the previous owner about the history of the machine. He is 91 years old and purchased the machine in the early 1960s. The machine left the factory with the standard M/G setup and standard tailstock. It was then retrofitted with the turret tailstock and control...

    Went back to the shop and couldn't find the exciter. Time to look at work arounds and figure out how to proceed.

    I'm going back to look for the exciter tomorrow. Anyone got a pic of what it looks like?

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    I don't have the big control cabinet or any of the tubes. Perhaps DC solid state is the way to go. I thank you for the info. You obviously know your stuff with these machines. At this point I guess I need to inventory exactly what I do and don't have.

    Is this 10EE worth saving?

    Good advice. Nice small machine is what I need. The turret is nice to have for sure. May wind up keeping it on. I have bigger lathes and a Haas TL=1 for those rifle barrels. Just not up to speed on the 10EE.
