Here are some photos of my 30 inch E/M 10EE which is 99% complete. If you all remember this is the lathe that I made from taking the 30" bed off of a older lathe and installing it on my newer E/M machine. While it was apart I had the bed ground and everything scraped. I added the ELSR and left the head stock control as well. The ELSR casting had to be modified to fit the 30" bed. By adding a couple of relays and a selector switch I am able to use either control. I also had to reform the cut away on the 30" bed for clearance on the larger E/M gear box. The only thing remaining is to add the coolant hose. It was last on the list because I do not think I will be using the coolant pump. This project sure was a lot of work. Knowing what I know now I would not have started this. The lathe has the factory solid state control. The control works perfect except every once in while if I turn the speed control down to fast it trips the control and I need to reset it. Any thoughts on what would cause that would be appreciated. My thoughts are to switch it over to a vector drive if I ever have serious control issues.
