Hi Jody,?I just went down in the basement for a look.?I'd have to bring my .0001 indicator from work to be definitive but I kind of have zero.Radial or thrust.?Topped off the oil cups while I was

my South Bend 9A has the same configuration , there are shim's in the slit between the front bottom of the? cap & the spindle housing .? there is a procedure online google "South Bend 9A head stock

Forgot to add, Welcome to the group Don.

The bearings as Robert points out do not have shims nor is there a "cap" there is however more what could be described as a clamp (see photo, chuck side is the same). This clamp (please correct me if

The tailstock on my 15" Sheldon is quite a beast, and getting it to move the first time in a session takes a little oomph. Once it has slid onto a film of oil, though, it glides with hardly more than

headstock uses a lot more oil than the cup to the right (toward the tailstock). Each has a felt purchased from Clausing. If remove the felt from the right cup, the oil runs through a bit more. I have

That will be some good core exercise moving that tailstock.? LOL.-Jody

That's pretty cool looking.? On the 12" the belt adjust knob/bar goes right over the top of the rear oil cup.? I actually have to lift the knob/bar up to put oil in the cup now.? I would have to

Thanks Ken, Sure it maybe apples to oranges comparing your results to the Timken bearings on mine, but it is interesting you have a similar issue with the back one emptying first even with a solid

Wow, I can imagine how hard that would be.? Did you hoist it out of trailer? There is also a SB13 here locally.? I sure wouldn't mind having a bigger lathe.? I think a mill will come before I get

I am sorry, too, but the online article that you copied is another good bad example of Internet Disinformation. The lathe in the photos is a Craftsman 101.07301. Which IS a 6 x 18 but IS NOT a 618. If

the older 618 i had someone had installed adjustable drip oilers on it in place of the cups similar to this [image: image.png] wrote:

Jody, I have a Craftsman 6" lathe with the solid bearings and It has always retained oil much longer in the rear cup than the front (towards the tail stock) cup. It has concerned me so I always drip a

I'd love to have it. I think it would look really good sitting next to my South Bend 16" with the 12' bed option. It would only be 2-3' longer but probably weighs twice as much. I unloaded the SB16 by

Looks like you might get a hernia trying to move the tailstock on that 20” Cincinnati lathe. Some large lathes have a crank handle mechanism using the bed rack to move the tailstock along the bed.

Oh Dave, I haven't tried thread wires yet.I have some adaptors that help hold the 2 wires on to the mic.? The are made by PD. I'll let you and Andrei know if they work.JP

I can definitely see where the mag on the ways could be quicker.I have a qctp holder with a test indicator installed, used just for indicating and then slide on the test indicator. Perhaps if I had a

You can always use a dab of grease on the threads to hold the wires. No third hand required. Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36> ________________________________ Sent: Wednesday, January

Jody,Not being critical to anyone but ...Having an indicator setup in the toolpost seems like a PITA .I've been using a mag base my entire life,? so versatile and I always have the contact at 12:00
