Hi guys. I'm brand new to this. Grew up around my grandfather making aircraft parts on an old SB clone and never got the bug till now. I just picked up a $400 new to me 211 that appears to have had a little work done to her. Logan confirmed they never made a brake. Lever was added to the pin that attaches the motor/counter shaft assembly. There's a cam, set screwed to that shaft that moves a block with a shoe on the end with a few rubber pads in it. Its spring loaded. Neat addition. I wish I new where it came from. It could use some replacement rubber pads.
I've got a world of tooling and measurement tools to absorb. I just ordered an axa tool post kit, the gears needed to turn metric threads and a threading dial. Noticed today it's missing. Thankfully found one on Ebay with the bolt.
I'd love to hear is your opinion, info and really anything related to the modifications to this lathe. I've got so much to learn!
