I hear that loud and clear, which is why I mentioned it somewhere in this thread. > Seriously, I thought that your lathe was broke and you needed the belt > and pulleys to fix it! The lathes computer needs help, currently the rest of it is doing fairly well if only the head was truly square to the bed. Cheap, very early version of the Chinese 7x12. It is not according to a facing job I did day before yesterday. I had to work the parts over on a sheet of 600 wet-r-dry on my surface plate before I could superglue them together. So I didn't try to face the next 2 for the other pulley, just lapped the high spots away and glued directly to the 40yo oxided faces. Much much closer to flat that way. But I'll need to watch temps as I machine else the superglue gets soggy in the heat. Alu doesn't carve that well when its that hot either as we all know. > That would create a catch-22 situation if you had to machine the > pulleys for the machine you needed to repair... although perhaps a > crank could be fitted.. ;-) I have resorted to the mill for the dirty work on the out of commission lathe a couple times. Gotta get ones creative joices going for that though. ;-) Thanks Dave Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
