Wow, that came out great! And you got a lot of tooling with it also! :thumbsup: I'm so jealous..:man::rofl:
I have a 108 Clausing and it looks just like that with the cast iron legs, I "rescued" it from a scrap yard and have been searching for the tools like the steady rest..
Just yesterday I fixed the clutch for the apron.. I still need to find the "energy" to make it look like yours! :whistle:
I see you added an AXA tool post. I've been thinking of getting one but I can't decide if it's really worth it as I don't run this machine daily (or even weekly!)
Well, I'll stop rambling. And again, good job, the lathe came out great!
I like the AXA tool post for convenience, I set up all my cutting bits and they are always ready to go. I have the same problem you do, finding time to use it.
How did you fix your apron clutch? Mine does not work either. Other than that the lathe works great, I love using it.
Dualquad, since I'm making requests.. , the gear on the bottom of your thread dial.. can I request that you count the teeth on that gear? There's one on the big auction site now and it has 31 teeth, It looks like the one from a 100 series. If the gear matches up maybe I can bid on it. TIA!
Lastly, do you run a dual quad? I've got a 34 ford street rod, 347 with a Shelby Rambox dual quad setup..:thumbsup:
My threading dial has 32 teeth. My drive pulleys are 2 1/2" on the motor and 8 1/4" for the counter shaft
I have a '68 Mustang with a 302 and dual quads
