You should ask this question in the Abrasive forum. There are probably more Boyer Schulz folks in there.

I'm not sure what that's about. I see this manual shows it. http://vintagemachinery.org/pubs/2682/4155.pdf

Might be some sort of lock. How about screwing it in and then pull it back and turn the...

Honesty is the best policy! Did the rebuilder give you a guarantee? If he did talk to them first. What country are you in?

I agree return it if its new. But will Harbor Freight take returns?

This info was 3 years ago. I believe Collector retired. Try posting in the Antiques forum.

How about telling us the swing of lathe and a photo of the end of tailstoch end of lathe. Yon should watch ebay or Yahoo Rockwell forums. Many times you may have to buy a tailstock close to size...

How about showing us some photos of your tools and how your bluing them out. Hard to advise looking at those photos. As TC said it appears your scraping straight circular and not an X pattern, have...

I suspect it's bent from over tightening the hold down bolts. Do you know what Dykem high spot bluing is? Its easier to find then Canode. Put on some rubber gloves, dab on some bluing on the far...

LOL, what have you been smoking? Have a tune in mind? Like "she's going around the mountain"?

I found this, so we know what your talking about: Merli Clovis 50 Lathes

You first need to do is wipe the machine clean and identify where it is leaking. It could be a bad gasket, loose pipe,...

I have decided to start teaching classes 200 feet from my home instead of flying 1/2 way around the world. I now have am planning 2 Classes in my pole barn shop.

I recall working on a Big 30" lathe years ago, over 50 years ago...lol helping my Dad. I am pretty sure it was at Electric Machinery in MPLS. It had laminated shims and you could peel the soldered...

I have ben following Jerry for years and he is a bright as anyone on here and he is free to do it anyway he wants. He I am sure has weighed the different ways (pun) to proceed. Plus he isn't ready...

Jerry when I write on here I figure I am writing to a million people. I didn't mean you would try to re-invent the wheel. As I said you have to assume it was good when it was built and you should...

The Host of the Tennessee Class replaced the Rulon on top and bottom of his saddle on his CNC mill. I showed him how. Everyone got to learn how and they learned to scrape Rulon /Turcite. In the...

The Canode Mfg. had an issue with a batch of the Blue about 4 or 5 years ago. They were purchased by a holding company and things slipped for a while. I used to buy it from them, but now buy it...

Some pictures...

The headstock if it was good when it was new I would want to test the spindle alignment with the spindle bearings. If it was good, then nothing will need to be done to it. The reason I asked about...

I finally will try to explain how I would do it: Now you are "rebuilding" the machine and if they built the machine correctly then you have an advantage over a builder as he has done all the...

I had a 1 hour phone chat with Cody of Moglice today and we discussed the TS situation today. I'll fill you in tomorrow on some of what he said.

I just read this and it's late. I'll try yo help in the morning. I am curious on b the head and tailstock taper size? For the others reading this. here is the machine, right Jerry? Rivett 608...
