Re: Steady rest for a heavy 10

 

I've been keeping an eye out for one myself. My Heavy 10L came the taper attachment, two 5c collet closers, a regular and turret tailstocks, and a cabinet. The steady rests seem to be rare, so I've been gathering ideas on various ways to make one. And I have to actually finish the restoration, which has been on hold for over a year now. Once I get the shop done, I should have what I need to do that, as well. Good luck, and I'm not competing for one until mine gets the full restoration. May improve your chances of finding one a tiny bit! :)

Re: Screw and Idle gears

 

I can't answer your questions, but there was a 116-tool SB change gear on Ebay just a couple of days ago. Heck, found it again:

The gear tooth counts you say you're looking for--116 and 108--strike me as odd. My 9C has the full set of change gears, and the highest tooth count is 80.

Do you have the gear cover with its graphics depicting gear arrangements for threading and fine feed? Do you have an intact banjo?

I went back to read your original post. You said the lathe was dropped. Just what was damaged? Was it only the change gears? What undamaged gears do you have? (Sorry for all the questions: my goal is to understand your situation, so I can help you get where you want to be.)

Obviously, there are other more intriguing options, as Jeff Chadima suggested.

Re: Screw and Idle gears

 

The Atomic ELS is, IIRC, a Russian invention. Most of the info is on a site in Russia, I think. I'm a member of the IO group, but never made it to the Russian source. I'm not nearly ready to go there yet, as I'm still learning manual machining.

Re: Screw and Idle gears

 

You should have probably mentioned that he needs to know the DP of the gears he wants to make so he knows how big a printer he needs to buy. My Atlas TH42 uses 16DP gears. The 127-tooth gear for cutting metric threads is a bit over 9" across, IIRC. I bought a 3D printer that has a 300mmx300mmx320mm build volume. That was before I got the Heavy 10L. IIRC, it uses 18DP gears, but I haven't actually checked that, since I need to get it restored before that is a real concern for me.

Do you have a 9 Junior lathe? Have you checked the s/n and what is your diametral pitch?


Re: Screw and Idle gears

 

I know there are many that want to keep their lathes as close to OEM design as possible.? For them, if it came with change gears, keep the change gears. However since I see that you might consider the expense and learning curve of a 3d printer, have you considered some customization of your lathe instead?? What I am thinking is a Electronic Lead Screw (ELS).? An ELS would eliminate the change gear setup entirely and give you infinite ratios and even change on-the-fly.? A couple of years ago, James Clough created a design for an ELS.? He even sells the critical components that you can add to the commonly available components, such as motor, sensor, pulleys.? Maybe you want to check it out.? On his YT channel, 'Clough42', he created a series of videos at the time of development, then later followed with some other videos of tweaks.? There are other YT of other people implementing a touch screen.? Clough42 Part 1:
