My New Toy: Burke Powermatic Millrite

I made a little more progress. I got the ram, head, and motor attached. Now I just need to assemble the head and we will be ready to take it for a spin.20160417_205515.jpg

I finally finished everything up. Only thing left is a directional switch for the power quill feed.20160417_205535_1.jpg

Ok, a few more pic's with a better vise. I had this one tucked away on a shelf. I'd like to get a 6" kurt when funds permit.20160420_200648.jpg

I stumbled across this old thread and I am interested (as a few others have posted) in your power feed addition. My Millrite had at one time a power feed which is long gone, probably the original unobtainable Servo unit.

How about some details on what you did to adapt the ALSGS unit to your Millrite.
 
Sure,
Basically, I just milled the original millrite end cap until it had a flat surface with a large enough opening for the top of the power feed to sit in there flat. Then I drilled holes and installed the two roll pins from the end plate that came with the power feed unit, into the original millrite end cap. I used the end cap that came with the powerfeed as a template for where all of the holes went, and I drilled them on the millrite end cap. Once everything was mounted, I had to make a small extension to attach the handle to. I plan to drill down the center of the snub, and drill and tap the x screw end, so I can attach it a little better. For now it just has set screws, and it working fine. I am attaching a few pic's to show it better, as my explaining may not make sense haha.

SAM_1431.jpg This is someone else's picture, but I used it to show the area I milled out(sorry my lines aren't very straight).
20161126_102331_resized.jpg Here you can see the area that is milled out. I didn't have a rotary table at the time, so I just eyeballed it on the inside because I knew you wouldn't see any imperfections from the outside.

20161126_102342_resized.jpg I had to turn this on the lathe to get a little clearance.

20161126_102310_resized.jpg Here you can see how it fits in there.

20161126_102434_resized.jpg Here is the little extension I made.
20161126_102558_resized.jpg Here it is all together.

Hope that helps!

Thank you, this helps a lot. I look forward to adding a power feed to my machine.
