Thread: Colchester Bantam Lathe
29/01/2018 19:57:21

Hi everyone,

I'm probably posting this in the wrong place, but go easy as I am a newbie!

I have a Colchester Bantam, and I what to do some general machining and would like to use the auto-feed for a traverse cut.

But the layshaft is going to fast, which is fine for thread cutting.

The gear train I have is as follows: 120B 127B 35B 30B .

What gear combo would I need to slow the layshaft down to a sensible speed.

Sorry but I am just learning all about machine turning hence the ignorance! dont know

Thanks

Dave
