Just got this Graziano SAG 17 lathe delivered, I was able to run it briefly before the auction, ran it through the spindle gears before the auctioneers guy shut me down. really didn't think I'd get it, but at 1050.00 hammer price, I think I did ok..
It didn't have much in the way of tooling, 2 3 jaw chucks, a drill chuck, that steady, a Royal lever collet closer (minus spindle adapters and collets), BUT, I did find the change gears, 28 of them! that includes 9 with internal splines that must be for the gearbox.
ok, its not perfect, the leadscrew has some wear on it, (I'll post photos of that), the cross slide has about 35 thou backlash, and the spindle has .0005 play, at least. any tips on tightening that up would be appreciated.
the ways look good, the gears too, (opened up the headstock).
I'd like to get an original paper copy of the manual, (don't mind paying 80 bucks + if I have to), do ya'll have any recommendations on the best source for that? thanks, Cy.
