Re: Not Convinced

 

Don't forget that money was worth more then, and harder to come by. My mom bought a 1965 Mustang for about $2500 in 1965, IIRC. I was about 10. There was a gas war going on between the gas stations across the street from our apartment, on opposite corners. $0.17 per gallon. Mom was back to waitressing after the divorce, and a dime tip was good money.

I now realize, from catalogue pages someone privately emailed me, that
although the speeds given in the beat up manual I have are for a 12"
they are also the speeds for a 10F. So, my confusion is cleared up. It
came from the factory with 16 speed and the speeds are the same as those
listed for the 12". When I see these old catalogues, I think how nice it
would be to be able to go back in time to buy one.

The badge didn't come with the lathe I have. Maybe it got trashed
somehow over the years. The beat up manual I have that is supposed to be
for the lathe, at least I thought so, has this image, but it is for a 12".

Here is the badge that came with the lathe.? It should also appear in
your lathe manual.

Top speed of the 618 is about 3600 rpm.? Again, it's for
small-diameter work that you want the higher speeds.

Hmmm. I guess you are right. I was approaching it from the the other
direction. I this case there would be no reason for the max
spindle rpm
of the 10" to be higher than that of the 12". I'm not familiar
with all
this terminology - what is the 618?
