Hi Everyone
Well thought I would start a thread on the 100 mk3 I bought the 3/11/14. I have million questions about the lathe. So first thing I may have spoke to soon about the taper attachment. What have I have is part of an Atlas taper attachment I have not been able to find the cross slide bar or the dove tail block for the cross slide or the block for the taper bar. If I can find the dimensions for the parts I can make them on the mill. So far no luck on the internet. Next I have got tools I have idea what they are we can have a little contest for a year or more where I post things and you can tell us what it is:thinking:. I have ordered a Clausing 100 mk 3 4800 manual from the place on Fleebay that sells reproduction manuals. He says it will cover about 99% of my lathe.
Next up I was playing around with the lathe and it has a forward/Rev switch, and yep you guess it right went to turn it off and rev, and chuck unthreaded. I was able to partly catch it with my free hand. I didn't ding the chuck or the bed ways. but my hand got dinged but good.:angry:
Anyone know a fix for that? I know don't do that any more right.:nono:
So any help for now would be appreciated.
