Calc II, remember very little of it.

My mistake, got busy and forgot about this thread. I'll contact some of you guys in the AM.

Thanks!

No worries. I just remembered I have a selection of gage balls to work from.

What diameter is that ball? Mine is missing.

New machine has a CA post and I need some holders. Basic turning, 1" boring and maybe an MT3.

Also need an MT5 live center and drill chuck.

Thanks, Cole

It's a good thing I bought the manual, there's a feed/speed chart in there but it doesn't have a chart on the machine itself. Never seen a lathe like that before.

Really? The SW Macropoxy I used to repaint my saw has held up really well, including the areas where I scrape off rusted together chips with a file.

No call, but I did send them an email requesting literature.

Thanks for the heads up!

Older thread, but does anyone have literature on how to use Hillman rollers? I've inherited a set and while they seem pretty self explanatory I'd like to read the manual if I could find one.

She's home. Not in bed yet, but up on skates so I can at least nudge her around. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210111/780371a5d9f0103765ed10c73721ffbb.jpg

Timely thread. I'm rewiring a lathe from 480 to 240 and learning about heaters in the process.

If I don't change them, it seems my 20hp motor would only be able to develop 10hp of power due to...

Get a quote, see what happens. :)

That was my first thought but they needed 2mil in liability insurance and I don't have that much.

Question- it came with an Aloris CA, but my other lathe has a CXA. Would I be sorry if I moved to...

There's only 2 motors, 1 being the coolant pump that doesn't work, so all Im concerned with is the spindle motor.

Think I'll just reconnect the spindle motor and transformer to 240v and see what...

wanna buy it? :D

Well, she's home safe. Ended up getting it loaded for $500, versalift scale said it was around 10k so that was a little lighter than I thought. It's right at 17' long and is wired for 480v, not...

These are in the headstock, so they're oil bathed.

Did you slighty undercut them?

I was a little worried that I'd remove too much and cut through the hardened surface. But hell, it's already 77 and I plan to keep it well through its century mark....

Yes, i thought that's what the manual called it? Regardless, that's the one. Already worked on the spindle clutch. :)

The feed clutch on my 12CK engages very smoothly in reverse, but often times skips and bangs going forward. No surprise there, that's where the wear is the greatest. Looking over the manual and...

Never did find an exact weight/foot of extended bed, but the base weight for the 30" c/c is 8600lbs.

Foundation drawings are in the manual I got from Monarch.

This thread needs updates. Because racecar.

That was my guess. The sales sheet I found had all the dims except spatial req's.

Going to take a buddy's 22' deck-over, that should be perfect.
