Hey Guys how abouts a lil welcome . Some of you guys may already know but recently I had purchased a SB 10x 24 Heavy . Something I always wanted so right now im a happy camper .
First Q can anyone tell me the year by Serial #13832 RKX16 if they know in fact if this model has flame hardened ways ?
Was told X in suffix can mean that but also read X and letters # following mean this model came with other options.
All tooling shown came with lathe . Pics are after she was cleaned up. She runs like a champ ... ways in good shape, headstock , motor pulleys gears feeds gear box, gears , gibs all remarkable . Ran dead nuts with collets Tir ..less than .0005 . Motor is smoothe and all engagements , free spinning spindle back gear all check out good too. Spindle bearings were in great shape . Few nights ago put a few hours in her oilen her/ cleaning up dialing in.. I must say the only thing that sweaks is the Tightness of Main drive belt lol.
The only part that I see I may need to replace NEW is a new brass cross feed screw nut .. other than that cant find any thing to replace . and the only thing I did not look into was engagement feed lever. I dunno if that can be adjusted and haven't dug further anyone know how she engages and what to look for adjust? She goes in SMOOTHE but feels like she can be adjusted for more room or something. Been long time sinceI fixed adjusted ripped a carriage apart > Is there an adjustment for this?
Also do you guys know of a good source to buy that cross feed brass nut . I found one on ebay not sure if this is good deal or a trustworthy source ?
thanks in advance for any help and advice
