I would advise the first thing would be get an operators book if you don't have one. J and S did them for all of their machines and give good information regarding their care. They can sometimes be...

What do you propose to do with the machine? If it for light, occasional work and there is only one tooth damaged, I would re assemble and keep an eye on it. You don't know how long the tooth has been...

I have a Hartford spacer and it looks identical to yours. Pretty simple piece of equipment and no manual is really needed. As eKretz said, the removable plates are to blank off the detents you don't...

I am unfamiliar with the Index55 mill, so googled it. Plenty of info on the Lathes UK website, which also states parts are still available "off the shelf" from the manufacturer. I regularly cut gears...

As others have said here, it's an Eazi Out. The worst name by which it could ever be described as and the company should have been prosecuted under trades description. A more apt name would have been...

Have you tried contacting Zaklady in Tarnow, Poland? Although they are now listed as armaments manufacturers, I have always found the Polish to be very helpful. They may just be able to help.

That table looks in very good condition. Please tell me you aren't going to weld on it!
I got a bollicking off our works manager because he found me scraping protective coating off a new to us table...

In my experience, eastern europeans can come across as aggresive and pushy. Even so, no reason for this guy to go on the way he did. Sorry I'm busy is a pretty understandable statement to most folks

I have a manual for the 500/575/725 series lathes. Send me an email to [email protected] and I will send you a copy

A big "tie wrap" or "zip tie"?
Cheap to buy, easy to install and remove

What is the application of the Hirth coupling? This coupling was popular for coupling crankshafts on twin cylinder 2 stroke motorcycle engines in the 1960s

Some machines do use an M10 x 1.25 thread for their mirrors, and some have a right hand thread on the right side and left hand on the left side. This may be so they don't loosen in the wind? For any...

I had an early 540 and found that hand cranking from "low" to "high" was a pain. I did look into removing the plate at the bottom of the vertical hand feed shaft and putting on a motor drive, but...

Hi Luke
The correct oil for the machine is Velocite 3, which is like paraffin. If your manager has used hydraulic oil, let him know, from me, that he is a tit. He has just reduced a precision...

Can you make a new quill where the wheels can be secured with a screw? Much quicker and easier to change internal wheels this way. Any chance of a photo of your current set up?

I would use a 4 jaw chuck in the headstock of a cylindrical grinder and a female "half centre" in the tailstock to allow access along the full length of the stem. Make sure there is a chamfer on the...

Stating the obvious here, they are to tap a 7/8"-32 left hand hole, though goodness knows what in. I reckon they are adjustable as the part being made is hardened and may shrink in that process....

I have a manual scanned. Send me a PM with your email address

I have a Moore No.3 and it is a wonderful machine. I also have the details of the quill taper which is unique to Moore and can dig the data out for you if you decide to make anything as some adapters...

What is the taper in your machine? I am suspecting that if it is obsolete, it may only be small and an ER25 collet and its holding capacity will be too much for your machine.
Easy enough to make a...

A bit off topic, but I've just had to make some footrests for a 1960s Italian motorcycle which had a very coarse knurl on them of 4 mm pitch. Did a 12 start thread, 48mm lead at 4mm pitch, left and...

They are called "Very Nears" for a reason!

If a 4 jaw can't do what you require, how about collets? As suggested, maybe a "Griptru", but still a mess on to get it to run true. What is the job which requires such accuracy from a chuck?

I did just the same to get a Bridgeport into a friends workshop. No real problems in getting the table off, but it will need at least 2 of you due to the weight. Put it back on straight away if you...
