Hi guys,
I was just cleaning up some of the lot 5 parts and I got to the lead
screw bushing. I think that's what this is called. It's the part that
screws into the saddle that the lead screw goes thru and the dial ring
would ride up against.The part that gets replaced at the Turk Works and
gets a little thrust bearing hidden in.
There are two pins thru the part of it where the 0 line is. They
are at right angles to each other. They're kind of hard to see in the
pictures I posted in with my lathe files, so I lightened them a little
and drew little arrows to them.
Anyone know what they're there for? They need just a little more
stock for one more of these on Friday afternoon and all they had was a
piece with two holes drilled in it so they put some pins in there?
Practice job for one of the apprentice's? Like, Ok kid, here's what you
do if you accidentally drill a hole in the wrong place on a part you
need?
Ok, I'm gonna post the pic's real quick and turn off my computer.
Damn thunderstorm again and this one sounds like a doozy! They just
won't leave us alone lately.

Hi Dave

OK the two arrows you I have not a clue as to what two holes would
be there for. There should be a hole in the outer rim just opposite
the zero mark and that is for a Tommy bar so you can remove the
bushing from the saddle. Greg Fosmarks Lot 6 had two small bras
pins in this same area and they were spring loaded so the dial would
not rub on the bushing. Totally different setup than a Lot 2 3 4 or
5.

Well I have Ron Peelers counter shaft pulley with new shaft ready to
ship off tomorrow. This will get his Dalton back into operation.
Just finishing up a 9 inch SB saddle cross slide and compound
rebuild for a fellow up in Alberta Canada. Really great shape so
was an easy fix.

Still painting a lot of black parts so better get back to it.

Ahhh Not me. You have my face plate. As much as I would love a
counter shaft pulley with new shaft, this one isn't mine.

Yeah, so when can I expect delivery of that Hardinge you've been
storing out in your shop for me? I have space all cleared out in my
basement, and I've been waiting for months! "-))
