lathe

Hello all, Recently refurbished a 1944 Craftsman Atlas 12 in lathe and am starting to practice and turn some book knowledge into practical experience. Last year I built a small machinist hammer with my mini lathe but was never happy with the quality so it got redesigned and remade. Pretty...

I should have started this thread a little while ago, but better late than never. I bought a 13" South Bend made in 1960 a year or so ago. The plan has always been to do a proper rebuild of the machine, including grinding the bed ways and scraping in the saddle, cross slide, compound, etc. and...

Good day, I am hoping to get some assistance from the amazing people on here. I recently inherited an old Britannia metal lathe. I am trying to find out a little more about it. I have already tried searching the lathe.uk website and couldnt seem to find the right model, or maybe i was just...

Hi All, I have a BV20, I can't see the name of the manufacturer. I'm after a manual if anyone out there has one. Also a tip on how to remove the plugs in the head stock. They have a thread in the middle, I'm thinking they are friction fit but seem to need a lot of force to get out so I don't...

Hello everyone, I am starting this thread to gather resources and ask questions about turning. I am about to put down the money for a new Eisen 1340 lathe. Have started to learn the basics of turning, by reading the SouthBend book by O'Brien and O'Brien. Have zero interest in grinding my own...

I’ve heard it said that your first machine purchase should be a lather and not a mill*, and that with enough work/steps, you can more or less make most things that you could make on a mill. I can visualize some basic operations that are equivalent of milling. For example, and I’m not speaking...

Hi, i`ve been thinking recently about the finer things in life, and i landed my thoughts on the idea of harmonic dampers being used on a lathe... Now there are a few ways of going about the whole idea... One is using a harmo. damp. on the motor shaft to attempt to nullify the harmonic vibrations...

Hi all, First time. So this was my father in laws fathers lathe that was bought for them 50 years ago and last used in 1985 by my father in law. It was located in a barn in Scone NSW. Now in parts in my place in Hurlstone Park Sydney. Dose anyone have any info about this lathe? age? Type...

Hi All, This is my first post. I recently acquired a Sears 109 mini lathe and am currently in the process of performing a full restoration. Once challenge I"m facing is hos to separate the handle from the tailstock assembly. There appears to be a recessed pin of some sort but I can't tell if...

Looking for a parts / operation manual for a 1950s Sebastian 15" lathe. This is my first lathe and I want to make sure I'm setting it up correctly. Thanks

I'm a bottom line up front kinda guy, so I waited to start this thread until I had the following pictures to show: Now that that's out of the way... This thread is a long time coming, because I started this project in June of 2022. Ever since I bought my first lathe (1937 Atlas H-54), I...

This steady rest came along with my new-to-me lathe, but is obviously not correct for the machine.. Can anybody identify what make it is, or know what lathe it is intended for? It measures about 4.5" high from the base to center. It has the number 9-326 cast into the frame. Thanks!!

WM210V-G Mini Lathe operation manuals for Chinese lathes from various manufactures.

I have tons of files, sadly NONE of safe edges. I was thinking (or read here somewhere) that "Lathe files" always have one or 2 safe edges. I bought NOS Nicholson 14" LATHE file....got it today, no safe edges. What do I search for to get a 12-14" safe edge file? Bastard ideally, but I have some...

I'm collecting tooling for my Unimats i didn't see a flycutter made by Emco, so i decided to make one from the pile of scrap stainless i have accumulated. the tool was produced from a 1.5" diameter scrap 416 stainless steel meat saw shaft after turning the 1.5" diameter to 30mm, i drilled and...

Hi All, Pretty new to the forum. A bit of background on me - I've no background in engineering at all, but I do have a thousands of hours on YouTube watching the machining greats and a positive attitude :) All joking aside, I owned a Warco 250V lathe (I think an English badged version the same...
