Al: I do have that book. Agreed that it is a goldmine. jack

Great Jack, you are back on the go again. I keep a notebook with sections for each machine in my shop. Each one includes info I need to know but might have forgotten…… lubrication type, setups,

Al: Thank you for the suggestion. It turns out that the problem was where it usually lies - with me. Instead of feeding with the half nut lever, I was feeding with the clutch knob. Several years

Just a thought here….. are you withdrawing the thread cutting tool while running the leadscrew/carriage to its start position? If not, the slop on the geartrain/leadscrew/half nut might be putting

My SB10k has a gitts oil cap on the very left side, plus I add some oil to where the leadscrew exits the QCGB. My metric system has 2 gitts oil caps on the top.

SB 9A Cutting a thread using the method of engaging the lead screw, running forward, stop, running in reverse without disengaging, repeat. Running forward goes smoothly. Running in reverse flips the

That link will work on your computer. It doesn't work on mine because I don't have the file at all, not to mention the same file structure you have. I'd like to have it! I do have the casting, but not

Hi There, Well, if I shorten it, I loose some of its functionality. When I am ready to tackle this project, I'll do a mock up and see if it is going to be feasible. Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb

??? Can ya shorten the new crossslide some when ya make it ? ??? animal

Hi There, Yes, I know about the extension for the Taper Attachment (I even knew the guy that designed it and got MLA to make it).? I just don't know if it will function with the Heavy Ten taper (it

??? There's a extension for the crossslide to make it work with the taper attachment , Like all their stuff ya can just buy the drawings if ya want

Hi There, I purchased one of those kits earlier this year and it is currently sitting in a drawer.? I plan to adapt it to my Heavy Ten.? There is plenty of metal and I am pretty sure it will

Thanks for that link Al, makes fascinating reading, but I doubt whether the information therein is of much practical value to someone with an old SB lathe! ?To put that into context, it deals only

That worked once I edited the text to put the link back together.

One thing that MLA advertises is that their projects are made for the lathe ON the lathe. If I remember correctly the extended crossslide needed use of a mill for the T-slots. Great drawing package

Try this one. Looks like my computer kept going to a saved version. https://www.practicalmachinist.com/forum/threads/machining-a-t-slotted-cross -slide.177054/page-5#post-1449260 Al

That link doesn't work.

I remember reading that Rolls Royce set their newly cast engine blocks “on the shelf” for some 8 years before machining them, so the internal stresses would be relieved. Don’t know if that is

I have one sitting on the shelf too. The casting looks great and I would love to machine it but my mill is to small. I'm planning on getting a bigger mill but in the mean time I'm going to college to
