Wanted: 10L Leadscrew for taper attachment

mm58 · Oct 1, 2020

Hello all,

I have a 1947 Heavy 10 (10L) with a taper attachment. I need the longer cross slide lead screw.

Wondering if anyone has one to sell (?)

Thanks

Mike

Did you search the forum? I replaced my cross slide screw with one from a guy on ebay. He posts here occasionally. I also had to replace my cross slide nut, which I also got on ebay. However, I don't remember the guy's name and ebay sucks at being able to look up a sale from years ago.

Yes I see one on eBay, but the asking price is $220. Quite a bit more than I'd like to spend. The taper function will hardly ever get used.

Has anyone ever machined their own DIY extension to the stock leadscrew??

It's not about longer, it's about the telescoping cross-slide screw which allows the slide and the TA to work together.

If you're only going to cut tapers occasionally it's a simple matter to disconnect the cross slide nut and set the depth from the compound.

Both arrangements were available on SB lathes, so it's not a bodge.
