Re: Finally workbench for my lathe
开云体育Yes, I rebuilt the Rockwell drill press, I believe it is circa mid 70's.Good eye on the Albrecht Chuck.? I picked it up used and ordered a.rebuild kit.? There is virtually no run out in the DP/ chuck combo. I will be hunting for a 3/4" Albrecht chuck soon.? I bought a 20" Jet Drill press that was abused and am rebuilding it now.? I will rebuild the 3/4" Jacobs chuck it came with also. I also have a Powermatic 14"? bandsaw I bought from Fort Worth middle school woodshop and am going to rebuild it. Thanks for the compliments.? I love rebuilding and making things new. -Jody -------- Original message --------

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.

Re: Finally workbench for my lathe
开云体育So the motor is a Baldor 3 phase 1/2 hp.I picked it up new on ebay for real cheap. It was a steal of a deal and made it much easier to justify the conversion. The original motor was likely going to require a re-wire and rebuild. I have a Teco 1/2 hp size VFD.? I've been real happy with it and the technical support was very helpful with a direct line to technicians.? I called them a few times with wiring and programing questions...and they were very helpful.?? -Jody (DFW) -------- Original message --------

Re: Finally workbench for my lathe

I think Bill in OKC gave me the Ida and let me know that Walmart sold them. But a few small drip pans should work fin.
