I have just got a taylor turret lathe no 536 ,and i am hoping that maybe someone on here may know something about them i had a look on tonys site but not a great deal of info i could realy do with a handbook any info would be great as i am rebuilding it.

cheers

kevin

thanks clive i know they arnt bumble bees they are small bees i will try and see if i can get them identified

kevin

hi,i am not a be keeper but i have noticed a lot of bees that are hanging about by a small hole on the gable end of my house they are quite small bees dont think they are bumble bees i dont mind them but do they do any damage and will they attack if i go up into the loft area as i think that is where they are as the hole was left when they took out old water tank and pulled out the overflow pipe.

cheers kevin

love it,exelent thread and vid is good.thanks for sharing

try looking for some drawer runners they come in differant sizes but you would have to cut the lips off

hi every one and a happy new year to you.

i have been up in my fathers loft and i came across these he has no idea where they have come from and doesent recall him even getting them,so here they are.it says le jockey club paris, and like a little rose,i cant see any date on them they are bad condition picks in album still wont get them here

kevin

well chaps thanks for your comments i do have the space in my small 16x16 garrage but even that seems to be getting smaller,it would be nice to be able to keep everything.Kwill why on earth do you want 4 lathes?and 3 mills (think thats just greedy lol) its got me thinking that 1 decent size lathe poss harrison or on that sort of size would do even for the small work and a decent mill will have to have a good think about this but thanks for your responces

kevin

help is needed,now the boxy is up and running do i keep it and sell my other boxy or do i be greedy and keep them both how many of you folks have two lathes ?

kevin

i get some weird crazy ideas i just look at things differant somethings work some dont,but isupose if we didnt think of crazy ideas a lot of things would have never been invente

kevin

Hi Michael

on your first photo of your chip tray coul you not move your lathe foward so the tray could hinge down over front of the bench it would make life easier for emptying,just a thought from my over worked braincell.Regaurding wormscrew find an old ajustable spanner
