Re: Threading Gear Confusion
The photo should explain things. Thanks. However, the 32T Spindle gear being as long as it is, is a holdover from the 9¡± and the 10 through 10E. Sometimes the chart calls for the gear in the ¡°A¡±

Re: Atlas / Craftsman 10F-12 10" & 12" Lathe Half Nuts / Split Nut
I do not what his problem is. ?I machine 660 bronze on my 12" Atlas lathe all the time, and it's no big deal, not like aluminum bronze or the harder stuff.

Re: Threading Gear Confusion
Stan, The only time that you would ever remove the 32T spindle gear would be as the second step in removing the spindle from the headstock. And yes, there is never any 16T gear ever installed on the

Re: Threading Gear Confusion
This is still all confusing, but I think it correctly dawned on me how the double (compound?) gear that consists of two gears, a 32 and a 16 is mounted on the 1/2" diameter shaft. Looking at the

Re: Super lathe bench
How did you? discover a twist in the bed of your lathe. - By using a precision level, the kind you can tell if it is out of level by .0005 and is normally used to level machine tools. In this case it

Re: Threading Gear Confusion
Thanks, Robert. One other question. In the table attached to the heavy cast iron cover is a column called 'Spindle Stud Gear.'? I'm assuming this is the threading gear that is attached to the back

Re: Super lathe bench
True GP, but a concrete top is really cool and if someone wants it, why not? Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36> ________________________________ Sent: Monday, February 11, 2019 9:33:36 PM

Re: Super lathe bench
Could the twist have been induced by overtightening the bolts holding the lathe to a less than ideal countertop? Get Outlook for Android<https://aka.ms/ghei36> ________________________________ Sent:

Re: Super lathe bench
For what ever reason my lathe bed has a vary slight twist to it. It needs a stronger bench to be attached to so the lathe can be shimmed to untwist the lathe bed so it is dead straight/level. I'm sure

Re: Super lathe bench
A concrete top to put your lathe is not needed why. The lathe does not weigh that much besides one will never do work in a atlas/craftsman that is that heavy to justify a concrete work top. Just look

Re: Super lathe bench
Saw that video this weekend. Then showed it to my wife. Between us we've now got at least 3 different Spring projects planned. Would be interesting to see how well that would work as a work surface.
