The quill screw on this lathe was too short to eject the tools... so I decided today to fix that issue... I drilled and reamed the end of the screw and pressed a ¼" dowel pin into it...
It ejects fine now...
I also had the dog drive plate soaking in evaporust, so I rinsed it off and dried it, then used a stone to smooth any dings and burrs...
I bought a 9 inch Buck Set-Tru chuck for it... it was pretty rusty... I took it out of the Evaporust this morning and finished cleaning and assembling it...
I have a piece of cast iron ordered, it should be here Monday, to make a backplate to fit the Buck to the Hendey.
I have the follow rest for the lathe soaking in the degreasing tank... I'm hoping for some warmer weather so I can slop some paint on it next week.
