I too have not received many emails lately, and I just assume that it is because there has been a lack of activity. Looking at the "Messages" section for this group, there has been what appears to be very little activity lately.?

P?edm¨§t: Re: [emcoV10lathe] Getting a Maximat Compact back in working order
Hi John, sorry I didn't realize Compact was different from Standard. With tapered rollers there will be a preload nut (C00.3-07 in schematic). After you take it out, the spindle will likely need to be pressed out from the left hand side bearing.
Resist the urge to use a hammer - of any kind :)
Threaded rod passed through the spindle, acting on the on headstock housing via wooden cribbing can be used
Good news is that 32 series bearings are available and cheap-ish, even in the P5 tolerance. Killing these bearings while trying to free them up in situ would not be a tragedy as on the Standard, but I'd still take it apart and clean it that
way

Hello Roman,
Thank you for the pictures and links.? The lathe I have is actually different from the one in the video.? It is a Maximat Compact, and does not have the spindle quill.? It also looks to have taper roller bearings that are sealed up behind press rings.? At this
point, would it make sense for me to attach the belts and let the machine run at a low speed for a while to see if things loosen up?? Or would that be a bad idea¡

I have a V10P and freestanding FB2 but have just bought (over the net ), an Emcomat 8.6 and need to arrange transport for it. Can anyone look up and tell me the weight of the basic machine ? Without a mill or stand / chucks etc ? ( It would be listed in the specs page ) so I have an idea of how to handle it. I know what a Compact 8 weighs and a Compact 10 but I am assuming it is somewhere in between ?
Hi there are two versions long and short 400mm and 600mm betveen centre ,because shorter is similar like my?
emcomat 7 -400mm B.c? , clear weight is around 75 kg ( manula show 160Lb short version )longer version can have around 85 kg ( 180 Lb ) without stand and mill? + waight of palet you will translort on ,?

Does anyone have dimensions for the carriage lock? Mine is missing it. Looks easy enough to make, but it's in kind of an awkward spot under the saddle, makes it difficult to get a measurement. I figure it will be a bit of trial and error with the dimensions to get it to fit, so some known measurements would save some time.
Jay, Wow thats a monster for the FB2 -- far too big, flog it and buy something more suitable !
I have the Emco rotary table and the angle plate so it can be used as a dividing head, ?the only downside is it is not possible to tilt it.
?
So I have one of the Brown & Sharpe clones which works well, ?they are OK but not the same quality as the originals but not expensive either and adequate for home shop use. Mine is Vertex brand, there are many others.
?
Not sure where you are but on UK Ebay there are often smaller quality dividing heads from Senior, Elliot etc look for a 4" size.
I love what rotary tables can do. I would suggest looking at Sherline rotary tables and some of their other products( like a cool tilting table made for their vise and rotary table)They make very high quality products and the size of their rotary table may be more suitable for an FB2. In addition there is a gigantic community of active¡¡makers,¡.hacking Sherline gear. For example,Sherline claims that their standard rotary table can not be adapted to a stepper, but of course, here is a photo of just such a hack I undertook¡. Included is my home made controller and an example of what can be done. In this case I am cutting replacements for the damaged tumbler gears on my Maximat Compact. And if I can do this, ¡well, of course you guys can do better!
