John, You must be thinking of Edelstaal. I'm sure that's the right spelling. They sold Unimats / Maximats for Emco I believe, so that may be your Austrian connection. Although I don't think

Roy, Strange, I am a Regional Planner for Telecommunications, I used to teach it at university. The last few years, we did not have pencils and paper, we had computers. So you have the

I'm trying to run down a connection to a combination machine from some time back. It was a mill drill lathe from Austria , I believe. It was called an Edelstadt but I cant get the spelling right to

Jerry, I actually can be considered to be a design engineer - I'm one of the rare MEs that had lots of shop experience before getting a degree. I'm also one of the rare MEs that can handle

Roy, Hammer alignment is such a wonderful things, but design engineers never seem to have to adjust or fix anything they design. The first time I took a hammer to a piece of shop equipment

Jerry, I wasn't impugning hammers or hammer craftsmen - I was impugning the lathe designer(s) who didn't include jackscrews for motor alignment. Tapping or prying something into alignment is

Hi Jerry, I have no problems at all with hammers, as I too have many of them, about half of them of the panel beating kind plus big ones and tiny ones including a copper one and a rubber one. I used

Ken and Roy, The art and the talent for using a hammer to align something has been around for many years. I have 60 plus hammers in my shop. Everything from a 4 ounce inertia hammer to 12

Ken, I do believe. I spent hours and hours, over several frustrating days until I got mine close enough to objectively leave alone. The only thing I hate more than pry bar adjustments is

Hi, I have ordered a Milling Slide and table from Chronos. Has anyone else fitted one and did you have to do much to get it to fit? It looks a bit different to the "Little Machine Shop"

Hi Roy, It WAS the motor out of alignment,but such a tiny amount you wold hardly credit!! The new brass cross slide nut and gibs fitted and it is great now Regards Ken <roylowenthal@y...>"

Nick, Yup this is pretty vexing 20 thou of taper is a lot. What is the lenght of the piece the taper is over. Did you do the facing cut with the compound screw or the cross slide screw? Do you

Nick, Did you do your facing cut by moving the compound or the cross slide? Taper when turning between centers is indicative of tailstock offset, tedious to eliminate on the 7xX lathes with

Roy: The spindle shows fore/aft of .0005" difference. There is basically no runout of the face of the spindle when in motion. All gibs for the carriage, compound, and cross slide are adjusted

Hi Bob: I've never seen a bb lathe but I understand that there seems to be some small quality changes that make it somewhat better than the usual 7 x 12. In fact I remember someone saying they

What does a cross slide mounted indicator show when the front & rear of the spindle are checked? It sounds like the HS is not parallel to the ways, easiest measurement is spindle parallelism to

Bob, Where in Canada are you? Jerry

Hi folks, I've been flirting with the idea of a benchtop lathe for some time, and it would be used mostly for photo/telescope adapters and parts. Most of these do-hickies max out at about 2.5"
