Very few PM 12x36T Videos...

While on the phone I asked about your Missplaced gear change detents, and useing JB-Weld to fill and redrill to fix, they said nothing negative to say about the fix... I Kinda got the impression he either talked to you about this or has heard of this happening a time or two.

Yes, I talked with them a while back when I was trying to fix it and mentioned I would probably fill it in and redrill. The new plunger I made at the time worked well enough that I didn’t do that, but it’s getting loose, so I think it’s time to make that repair.

when I asked about the spider he liked your idea of using inserts for each size of rod in use.

This is what I did. The threaded inserts are longer than needed, but I wasn’t sure if they would try and unscrew themselves from any vibration, so made them extra long. One of these days I’ll make them shorter. I used a coarse thread, might be a better idea to use a fine thread so you can go bigger with the largest insert.

Thank you, I‘m sure I’ll modify it some over time, but works pretty well so far.

Anybody know if the YouTuber --> mdw6679 is a member here on this forum...?
I watched some of his videos for his PM 1236T... I wouldn't be surprised if he is already a member here.

Originaly I thought this video below was just an advertisment for the PM 1236T, But it turned out to be his first video getting the lathe... He also has a few othere ones covering this lathe.
