rockwell 11x24 restoration thread

Astjp2... yea to make the collet work you need a drawbar. I have mine I can take a pic or 2 for you to see it in place.

Bernie :) there is a interesting thread in the south bend forums. I just made a rather crude tramming gauge for it today. I am in the process of determining what collet systems to use and Jacob chucks... I got a good education at cooks last weekend with Charlie about #30nmbt adapters and mods to work with my mill.
 
I left a message, we'll see if he calls back...
Thanks Tim, I appreciate you pointing these out :)

Take pictures and fill us in on what you learn. He was real friendly on the phone. Tim
 
Hey Tim
I was hoping to get the electric all in order and working this past weekend but yahoo groups switched software and for me the Rockwell lathe group is not working. I am having trouble with the location of 24volt single phase magnetic starter motor control system. On your system where is it located? I cannot. Find an enteral box between the motor and the external on off reverse switches by the user. Any help would be appreciated.

Yea! More info learned today... my lathe is a model 25-135: which means 4 ft. bed L-00 tapered key spindle nose
that is a 11" x 24" lathe, it has a single phase motor that can run either 110V or 220V, the L-00 tapered spindle was an option for this lathe, you could also purchase it with the older screw on spindle which were standard on the older lathes.
As mentioned in a previous post (in another thread) the SN places the lathe at 1956 vintage (making her just 2 years older than me :) )

According to the manual, I may need to identify the magnetic starter motor control, unless in the single phase it is on the motor, I see pics of some 3 phase units being external to the motor though. I might have to ask that one in the yahoo rockwell group.

Thanks for watching!

Sorry, I have been in Alaska for the last week with limited internet access, I will check for you this weekend if I get time. Tim
 
My machine is 110 so it does not have relays. Are you thinking of getting you bed ways reground? I am considering it for mine...Tim
