Unneeded W&S Turret tooting

Froneck · May 19, 2019

I had at one time quite a few turret lathes, Retired and all sold but in my collection of stuff I have some left over tooling, some might be for others than W&S. I know I have collet pads, W&S Face plate? Indexable tool post though if I recall not in the greatest shape, possibly a roller/turner or similar and Collet nose piece for I think #4 W&S. Anyone have any interest? I'll make photos if interested but don't want to waste time if there is none.

Don't think i have a need for unneeded tooting.....

Im Interested. If you take pics will you also measure tang or bolt circle of the tooling

It's a rootin tootin turret lathe.

And a rootin tootin #4 will pay the rent before noon tommorow. Not many see value in them but they work for me.

I think he may have been referring to the typo in the title

Yep he's big alright, especially around he waist. That's what happens when you sit on your butt all day whilst your son does all the graft.

Oops My stupid computer made a mistake, can't trust them computers

Tooling!! I did a lot of work on turret lathes, bought them cheap! Left them set-up and could deliver before a CNC could be programed! I'll get some photos posted

Works well for me. I'm getting to the point where I hate using engine lathes. I haven't jumped off the deep end on Screw machines yet, but probably in the next yr or two.

I may be interested in the some of the collet pads and face plate.

Thanks,

Bill

OK! As I find the stuff I'll post photos, some of the items I put in a good place never to find it again except when looking for something else! Other items I keep tripping over and keep saying to myself get it on the forum so someone that can use it might save me from breaking my neck! If I had more room I'd have at least a #3

I was too. Had two #3. Both had air chucks. Even had my sister yankin' the levers. She got quite good at it. Wouldn't mind having one again.

Heh. So many possibilities... But I'll be nice this time!

Adjustable boring bar

Sliding holder

Some photos I found on my computer if interested I'll get dimensions.
More to come

I'm always interested in tools I don't have, for a #3. One piece I've never found is the piece that bolts to the top of the head to accept the overhead support bar that attaches to a multiple tool turning head, for on a #3 lever head. If you happen to find one, let me know. I doubt I'll ever use the machine that way at this date, but it would satisfy my packrat OCD to have the one piece that I'm sure I don't have.

I have one, looks like it might fit a #3. It's big and heavy. Definitely will not fit a flat rate box. I'll make photos and measurements and post it tomorrow. Looked at the collet nose piece, quite large and probably not W&S, has a key to prevent the collet from turning. It's in the W&S #5 size, if interested let me know.
Looked for the face plate today, didn't find it! I do a good job putting it in a safe place!

More photos

Here is the W&S face plate, larger than I remembered probably was thinking of a threaded spindle drive plate I found with it. Large threaded spindle drive plate about 8" available too.
Diameter 15" Taper OD 5-1/2" Bolt circle 6-3/4" 11/16" Bolt holes. Measurement made with tape measure. Plate diameter 8-3/4" W&S M-1677
It's heavy, will not ship USPS has spot faced threaded holes in back for counter weights, 3 slots and 3 Tee slots. Few slight machined groves in the surface. Let me know if anyone is interested in it.

More photos

Didn't find the part of the head stock for the support bar, just about all my turrets had them but I did find a multi tool holder for the turret but its a Gisholt. Let me know if anyone has interest.

turret tool post

I found a turret tool post, Works good! Missing 6 of the 12 needed tool clamp screws and the plastic ball on the handle. Not W&S mounting type, has 4 holes rather that the 2 used by W&S. Any interest??
