My Grizzly GO765

Low gear is about 15 or 20 rpm to about 900. High speed was a little over 2000. I think the high sides will increase as it breaks in. When I first turned it on during the break in procedure, top speed was about 840 in low.

I made a new tail stock lock handle and noticed some taper. The tail stock is a little high so I need to work on that.

I already have a 5" 3 jaw chuck to go with it. I need recommendation on a 4 jaw.

Had the same problem with my tailstock. Instead of dealing with the v-way, I took a little off the upper/lower interface. :)

And FWIW, I had good luck with my 4-jaw that I bought from LMS.
 
Got my 3" chuck bored out to 20mm the other day. Now I'm working on a hand wheel setup for the head stock for tapping/die cutting threads. I think I can also make a indexing setup out of it as well....
 
nice work! On the tapping handle front, you may be able to repurpose an old bike's quill stem (for either 1" or 1 1/8OD steerers) as they have a neat sliding/ sloped plug on the bottom to hold the stem tight inside the steerer. Either that or a tapered plug with slit outer tube (deansphotographica.com had one, but I can't find it right now) would work.
 
the bike neck is a good idea. I think I'm going to go with the slit tube with tapered plug cause there more machining to practice with. 8)

I did order a QCTP, boring bars, some HSS tool blanks and a parting blade from LMS today to get some more tooling going. Sold sold transmission part this week so have a little spending cash.
 
Did some work last week to line up the tailstock after dial indicating the ram. Shimmed up the rear to bring it in line.

New tooling came in Friday from LMS! The replacement gears come in today ( they where shipped slower mail to save me a few bucks...nice but I wanted them quicker) so I JB welded the broken gear so it I could try out the new tools. The glued gear is still holding. 8)

So to try out the new tools, I made a carriage lock....open
