I have been wanting to start a Okuma LK user group. A place to share information about well built, discontinued unsupported LK's. The other day I sat down and started it. I started it on instagram. (i will see how it works out) Look it up on okuma_lk_ncj9769 I have rebuilt the head stock and quick change gearbox by changing all the bearings, reworking the oil supply and return. I also sent the bed,saddle and cross slide out to get reground and turcited at Schmeide Corporation in Tennessee. Lots of work and a very long process. Hopefully this works out to be useful for home shop machinist.
