Hello all
New to this group restoring a nice condition 405-y shipped dec 1934
Can anyone tell me if the 1 1/2 8 spindles from model a b c will fit the 405??
Is there a felt replacement kit available specific to the 405 or will any of the a b c kits work?
I have replaced all of the cross/compound feed nuts added the needle bearing fix for axial play an re machined the original 1 3/8 10 back plate to fit a nice bison chuck and added an aloris axa tool post.
Im seeking any information on parts compatibility between the 405 "grandfather" and the model a b c
Thank you |
开云体育Welcome?I am a former owner of a 405.? The ABC spindles will physically fit on the diameters but there’s an issue with the length. ? I don’t remember exactly what but I believe it can be over come. The ABC spindles are longer as I recall.? The 405 has entirely different felts.? They are cut into strips and fit into slots in the top of spindles.? It’s important that they be continuous and clean.? There is no oil well in the bottom of the spindles, like the ABC, so they must be oiled at every use.? There shouldn’t be much more information in the files section.?
