    Planning Mill Tables and Lathe Beds - Manual

    Yesterday I had a job on my planer that I struggled to do and ended up having to switch off and do the job on a mill because the part was flame cut and would only tear up my tools Thank you for sharing this Richard and Rees Acheson

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    This Lucas hbm is important to me. It opens the door to bring in more business. A lot of jobs that I get have to be done horizontally. They are to big for a vertical or a horizontal mill. In my business I try to specialize in jobs that other shops in my area cant do or is not profitable for...

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    If I were to try to scrape the top side of the bed ways, would I not have to make both ways the same thickness ? The outside of the back way is planed. would I use that to measure from when scraping the front side of the front way?

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    On the bed ways when I measure the thickness, the wear does not make sense to me. I will list the measurements here starting with the back bed way from left to right. approx. 12 inches apart from end to end. 1.442 -1.442 - 1.437 - 1.437 - 1.439 - 1.441 - 1.441 - 1.442 - 1.442 front bed way 1.448...

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    I have measured from the saddle to the bed and it was 0 when I had applied the moglice. When the table was put on it was still within .001 measuring from the top of the ways to the top of the table. Now when you move the saddle down the bed that changes. The table will tilt as much as .005 as...

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    I am ok with what I bought. I just couldn't see the rulon under the ways. it ran quiet, all the speeds and feeds worked. I could see it had some wear. The rapid didn't work. I thought it was functional and in some ways it is, But with the head out it is not good for anything that is precision...

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    I know that this machine has a lot of wear. I did not know it had been worked on like I found out after I bought it. Some one had tried to rebuild this machine or patch it. They had cut out the ways in the bottom of the saddle and had glued and pinned in phenolic. The rulon was laid on it. It...

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    here are some pictures . When I move the saddle and the indicator reaches the other end of the angle plate which is 12.5 inches it goes from 0. to + .010. I would show that but the picture will not load. I am not moving the spindle in and out only the saddle.

    Lucas 41 HBM head alignment issue

    Sorry to be so unclear As far as the table and saddle are concerned I had to remove them and repair the ways between the saddle and the bed. I removed the rulon which was laid under the saddle, which was not glued in. I put moglice in place doing it the way the people from devit machinery...

    The impossible question, when do you start to get rid of your machines?

    My grandfather walked through his shop and told me that one day it would be mine. He said that when he left he did not want anything weighing him down. He was 85 when he died. Down through the years the things he left me have been such a great help to me. I have used them so much. I did not thro...

    picked up a lodge and shipley lathe and a 2-1/2 B milwalkie vertical mill

    Thank you for your help maybe alskdjfhg will have a picture. I am guessing that the two large gears that are missing would have 40 teeth like the other 40 tooth gears that are there. That way when I moved the lever it would reverse the direction of the thread thus enabling me to cut a left hand...
