Thanks all.

Looks like the best thing is to firstly purchase a manual for the mill & then look into the relays & also any info regarding adjusting the clutches.

Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks Roger.

Hi all,

i have purchased an Adcock shipley 2s milling machine from a dear friend that has sadly passed away.

All i know is that Brian said "its the electro magnetic clutch"

Is there a known fault, can anyone help??

thanks Roger

I have found some literature that states that the following lathes were very similar but not identical:-

JET - 1024 & 1036

ENCO - 92010

If anyone can help sourcing a tailstock would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris

Many thanks for your advice.

I have been in touch with Dave, his answer was that he never found a source of spare parts.

Therefor either adapt a tailstock from another lathe or find someone breaking said lathe.

Cheers

I have purchased an 'ALPINE TD-5AH' lathe but its missing its tailstock,

Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks Roger

Hi all

This may seem like a silly question, but as iam new to using a lathe i need a little help.

How can I tell if my Chester MF42B multi function machine (serial no - 972373)

is a metric or imperial machine.?

Many thanks

Roger

many thanks to all.

Hi

I have inherited the above mentioned machine, however its been stripped by previous owner. Can anyone offer any help regarding re-building.?? any instructions or schematics would be most helpful.

Many thanks

Roger

you were right Chris, the bronze bushes were standard imperial sizes & easy to obtain. But will require drilling for the oil ways

The `reverse shaft`(L5-2-179) & `The bearing`(L5-2-116) are both badly worn & require replacing.

Can anybody point me in the direction of a spares supplier...??

Many Thanks.

many thanks chris, will look into it.

Can anybody point me in the right direction for spare parts for the Harrison L5a lathe particularly bronze bushes for the Norton gearbox.

Hi kettrinboy

Many thanks for your help Geoff.

unfortunately i have these already.

Anyone else out there with any more info greatly appreciated

Thanks Roger
