Hello All,
I recently purchased a K-13 at auction and it seems to be ok shape. It needs some belts, cleaning, and lube system work. It came w/ an Aloris CA tool post, 4 good quality chucks and has a taper attachment.I am new to machining, so please bear with me. I am wondering if there is supposed to be a casting that attaches from the rod that runs through the pinion gear (where one adjusts the degrees or inches per foot of the desired taper) to the rear way of the lathe. The manual I found online doesn't give a good detailed picture or description of setting it. I have yet to plug it in, just got power rigged up and opted to go with a new derated Lenze VFD. I just have to move it and wire it up. Does anyone have any photos or a can help with this question?
I know it's not as solid or common as the 10EE for 16" models, but should suit my hobby machining needs well.
Thanks in advance.
