Re: 9a for Sale in the UK
Adam,
I'm sorry to learn you need to sell your 9A. I know how I'd hate to part with my 9C!
Will you still be in the group?
Will you still have your hands in making things?

Re: KNOWN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 405 AND LATER LATHES2.doc
True, but both spindles have the integral 20 DP gear.

Oh yes. The 405 thrust bearing is a washer.
ABC spindles are ball and race. That creates a size problem.

Re: KNOWN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN 405 AND LATER LATHES2.doc
Another thing I just remembered.
The 405 used 20 DP change gears.
ABC use 18 DP.

Re: Eliminating the step pulleys
They are dual v-belts. The crown is still there. They tend to stay in the middle until heavy load is applied. The flange will hit the top of the v and yes will occasionally wear the outer belt edge,

Re: Eliminating the step pulleys
Rick, if you add a flange to stop the belt wandering off, it will chew the edge of the belt, and the belt might even climb onto it. ?Flat belts need a crowned profile on the pulley, and you should

Re: Eliminating the step pulleys
My concern is the plain bearings in the headstock. I don't run either my SB9A or my SB13 much above the listed top speed of either lathe.
