    Headstock part number question k-165

    Yes, its the same in the UK. Mine came from a plumbing firm. I made a tube spanner to tighten the gland nut as its recessed in the head-stock casting and difficult to access,

    Headstock part number question k-165

    Mine had string in it when it came apart. I replaced it with 2.5mm diameter PTFE. This is (so far) weep free. However my lathe is a CVA so it may not be identical in terms of the annular gap.

    10EE stuck camlock

    Can you get the chuck off it's backplate? You should be able to see the other end of the cam from the spindle nose. Here's what the assembly consists of: Take the screw out and get some easing oil down that hole too. Do these cams ever break? I've seen one where the corner of the square hole...

    10EE apron gear specs

    Apologies for going slightly off-topic here, but it seems to me that this, and many other corrosion damaged aprons are due to coolant ingress. The main (only?) entry point appears to be through the cross-slide feed screw tunnel and the gap in the top of the apron for the drive gear. On my CVA...

    10EE apron gear specs

    My CVA gears are 16DP & look like 14.5 deg PA. I'm pretty confident that 10EE gears are the same spec. My apron was is poor shape too, perhaps not quite that bad: I'm with @rakort on this. Clean everything and post some more pictures here. They may well be good enough. Sure, if you want to...

    Full tear down and Rebuild of a 10EE Round Dial

    Out of interest Grant, did the two gears on the end of the clutch shaft need new bronze bushes? Do they have the weird figure of 8 internal oil groove (or was that something that CVA added when they copied it) ? Here's how mine was...

    10ee Electric Tach

    The sensor I used was one of their 1GT series, but it was several years ago and they don't appear to make it any more. Its been replaced by a similar one, which has quadrature outputs. If you wanted to you could use this to show direction of rotation, otherwise just ignore one of the outputs...

    10EE / CVA spindle pulley bore damage

    Your lathe has twin V belts @beckerkumm and yes the spacing is non-standard. @tomkenned has a later machine with triple belts as in the picture. I don't have one to check but these look like standard spacing. From what I can gather all the short bed (20" BC) Mk1 CVA's, which look like 10EE's...

    10EE / CVA spindle pulley bore damage

    Sorry, bit late to the party here. Only looked here after I got your PM Tom. I'm sure I've heard other reports of this issue, but cannot recall the fixes. As @beckerkumm says, try Joe for a replacement. Mine has a flat belt and the head stock spindle pulley is alloy. The gearbox pulley is cast...

    Aciera F4 Old/New style Slotting attachment

    Yes, I'm in the UK. It's probably too difficult / costly to ship. I have not tried to sell it again (it was on ebay a while back) and thought I might be able to adapt it to fit my later style machine. You might find something at Greub ( https://greub.ch/ ) or Muller (...

    Aciera F4 Old/New style Slotting attachment

    Yes I still have it and would be prepared to sell or (preferred) swap for other F4 attachments that do fit! Where are you? Your profile gives no clue as where on planet earth you are.

    Monarch 10ee early round dial. Apron thrust bearing replacement...

    Sorry. You did say 0.870" in your original post and those that I mentioned are 31/32" so obviously too big. As Cal says, bore them to suit. I wonder if the O/D of the boss is the same on both machines. CVA is 1-5/16" dia. ....... I've just looked at the ones from my spare CVA apron: Most of...

    Monarch 10ee early round dial. Apron thrust bearing replacement...

    I'm in the UK and rebuilt my CVA apron last year. I'm pretty sure these thrust races are the same in the 10EE. I managed to find new, old stock RHP (Ransom Hoffmann Pollard) but my usual bearing supplier has them too. They have an ebay 'shop' and it says they will ship to the USA. Try them if...

    Need help with my new 10EE

    I would be careful here. If the bed and saddle are worn the apron will be lower, so making bushes might cause the carriage to bind. If you've had a regrind and turcite under the saddle to bring it back up to the original position, yes, make new bushes with a nice running fit. Incidentally on...

    Need help with my new 10EE

    My CVA was grey on the front and red on the back, but I could not remember where the color changed! So it ended up all the same. Sorry that's probably not much help. Anyway pics: All the insides and places where oil might accumulate were painted with an oil resistant paint. I should really...

    CVA Toolroom Lathe - Cushman 4 Jaw Chuck

    No, they don't exist any more. Kearney and Trecker bought into CVA in the mid 1950's and took over completely in the 1960's. The factory then produced lots of K&T designed mills. AFAIK they still produced the CVA Toolroom lathe but the ID plate changed to reflect the new owners. See below. First...

    CVA Toolroom Lathe - Cushman 4 Jaw Chuck

    Thanks for all the replies. @old_dave - Yes I would have expected a larger than 6" 4J chuck on a lathe of this size. My 10" (swing) x 18" Colchester Bantam has an 8" light duty 4J which seems a more appropriate size. Although I bought this 8" chuck new, it is exactly what Colchester offered for...
