Hi All, long time lurker here. I really appreciate the wealth of knowledge on PM.
I just picked up a Rivett 1030F for my home shop. I was able to do a 10min test before decommissioning it to verify that it works and the high low buttons work etc. I’ve got it placed. Next I have to level it and secure a step up transformer.
I got the lathe from the original purchaser, and it came with the full manual, schematics, brochures and original purchase receipt. It was free, I suspect that is because it’s not the same hyper precise instrument it use to be. But hopefully it will serve my needs.
I’m hoping to put it into service soon for a few projects I have coming up, and to slowly make it shine again.
I did notice some significant wear on the angle section of the bed ways that the carriage rides on. I suppose that is what it is. I’m planning to do a few test cuts as soon as my transformer arrives.
I thought since I have such contiguous documentation, it might be helpful to share here. Especially since the lathe is still very in tact with very little done/missing.
