How is that chuck mounted on your RT?? The 3-jaw I got for mine has a "skirt" around its base with 4 screw holes.? They match the 4 T-nut slots on the top of the RT.

Stuart Score steam engine.
I scored a Score at a recent auction.
The materials kit is complete.
It is missing all the paperwork.
I can get most of the information from the 10H kit.
?
But, I need the section on the crank shaft and the main body.
Every thing else is just 10H duplicates.
?
Can someone please assist?

Back around 2000 Ebay was fun to buy and sell. After 2005 I stopped it had changed a lot.?
I did buy one item in 2016.?
The next is Because of Amazon low price and free shipping hard to sell?
?
I sell look but not nothing like the old days.?
The cost of shipping is a big problem.? Then a lot sellers are just there to make money today.?
It can fun?

Thanks.? Appreciate the suggestion.? Yes I can always come down a bit each month until they sell.?? Usually I put a bold "no haggling" to limit the #tire-kickers.
?
So the Grizzly is $855 plus freight on-sale right now (down from $950 plus freight).??? I have no idea if this is one of those "permanently on sale" type of situations??
The HF Mini Lathe (which I guess competes with the Grizzly?) is $799 list.? ??? I know there are no more 20% off HF coupons,? though maybe these items were always excluded.
|
That is the approach I take when selling tools - along with checking for comps on Craigslist and ebay.? If you have time, I'd suggest a little higher to start, given good condition and ready to go.? Maybe 75% & 60% of Grizzly/HF and accessories costs.? You can always come down.

Each has a fair amount of aftermarket accessories such as MT#2 chuck, A2Z QC toolpost, ER32 collet chuck/collets, 4-jaw chuck --- power feed, belt-drive, air spring, rotary table (plus all original parts. Stand/table for each.?
I was thinking of starting out at 60% of Grizzly/HF new price plus 50% of new cost for the accessories.???
Is this realistic?? In the end it's whatever the local market (West Coast USA) will support.? There is a bone stock G8688 on FB marketplace with no accessories and some minimal tooling (worse condition than mine) for $1000 which strikes me as "highly optimistic".

Clock Bulders and moon phase gear
I just purchased new rotary table and remembered that clock builders always what a 59 tooth gear made. This can be done on a mini lathe and a 36 worm gear 3" rotary table.?
Found a index chart use bs plates 
|
I have B&S indexing head and a large rotarytable. But it takes time setup use then put vise back and dialing in.?
?
So a small 3" rotarytable I can put vise is great.?
?
If need down size and use have a mini lathe it fit in a milling

Re: Armoire's machine shop the new frontier
I have a whole basement for a shop now, but maybe that won't be true forever. This idea is incredibly cool, and a 7x lathe would work as well as a Unimat if you found a big enough armoire.

These pictures inspired me. but I sold my unimat

have you used a Sherline/Taig/Unimat lathe?
How well do they work?

I have never used a Sherline/Taig/Unimat lathe.?

I was looking was under for lathes 24" and weight where two could could pick the lathe or 120 pounds [54 KG].
?
A 24" space is to small I think at less 30" Ideally 36".
?
I found most Armoire 24" , 30"/32" and 36". I have found a few 18" to 72"
