Re: Royal live center


 

I may have something at work I can borrow, if necessary. I've made some small parts for them, so my boss is good about loaniong tools. Get yourself settled, and take your time. I retired from the USAF over 20 years ago, but still remember being jetlagged after getting home from some long trips.

Hi
Bill, I have more pics and can tell you the first
try way and the easy way to get it apart! Just
got home from Iceland yesterday but I'll try to do
something tomorrow.? Mine is nice and smooth now
and runs out less than .0002". You're
going to have to invest in a 3/4" 2 piece shaft collar
though, 1 piece clamp on could work as well. Set screw
collars are garbage. Dave

Dave,I
only see one pic, and I'm VERY interested because I got
one with my SB 10L lathe, and mine is more than "a
little crunchy." Poor baby spent some years in an open
barn. More photos would be welcome. More info on how you got
it apart, too. Mine spent a few days soaking in evaporust
after a day in purple power degreaser. Still real crunchy. I
have a small arbor press in the home shop, and a 20-ton HF
hydraulic press available at work. Looks like I'll need
a new bearing, from your photo.?


Thanks for a really timely
post!

Hi guys,?
I have a Royal
Products , Regal live center that either came with or was
purchased along with my dad's lathe. Whatever, first one
I ever used.?
Recently rebuilt it. Nothing
wrong except for the crunchy bearings due to dried up?
grease.?
Couple pics of the process.?
