Hey,
I picked up a 1943 22L a couple weeks ago and am sorting through things as we speak. It came with a slotting attachment, a high speed spindle, bunch of arbors and collets. and a few spindle B&S adapters.
I have a couple questions though.
Anyone know the lead and O.D. of the X table screw? It has quite a bit of backlash in it. I'll measure when I pull table off to re-grease stuff, grainger sells bronze nuts I believe that could be worked to fit.
Anyone know the thread on the nose of the spindle it measure on maj O.D. 2.965" not sure what pitch. Looking to mount a chuck at some point and do turning if in a pinch until I get a lathe.
I pulled apart the high speed spindle because I could not turn it by hand, but could when attached to machine. A couple of the bearings felt crunchy so I cleaned out all the grease and am putting it back together.
I'll post some photos but I forget how it goes back together there is a washer about 2" diameter with a step on one side that looks to be worn from a bearing inner race the other side has two grooves around the flat part of the washer, the bearings did not ride on this. As you can see in the picture I posted below the front spindle cap also has grooves so I feel that both the cap and the washer were made like this to retain oil.
