Hello
I starts to post the project that is the reason for me to join this fine club.
I accidentally ended up buying a old Maxnovo Lathe for scrap steel prize. I relay like this old iron, and felt sorry for the poor thing.
60 and then some years of abuse on a "not-5S-sertified" work shop and then just thrown away?
The lathe has a CENTER HIGHT of about 220mm I'm not sure, but think that this means it's a 8,4x40 lathe in Europe and an 18 times 40 lathe in US. Is that correct?
After all the hard work getting it into my shop, I started to tear it apart. During the tear down process, some errors appeared....
It might not show to well on the phone-image, but the apron (I think its called apron?? The feeding mechanism box?) was mutilated with welds, toothless cogwheels and cracks.
Anyone here familiar with Sisophys? The fellow who have named many of the tasks I do in my shop... I had to cut out the axle on both sides of the cogwheel due to welding...
However, the image is laying, I started of with this hand-saw but ended up with a power tool :whistle:
When cleaning up after removing the spindle gear box, I saw some markings on the surface both on the lathe frame and on the corresponding surfaces of the gearbox. (Maybe headstock gearbox is more correctly?)
Since there is no other evidence of refurbishing on this machine, can this be traces of Original Factory Scraping? I think so, but please tell me what you think.
As always, When I reach this stage in a refurbishing, I start to picture the machine as it will be when completed :thumbsup2:
So far so good, Three parts finished and assembled. I wonder how many parts this Lathe consists of? Hmm Maybe a part-count would be fun... ?
That's it for now, but I'll post again in irregular manners.
