Are you sure it does not have a bore through the tail stock i have a ML10 tail stock that I converted for my drummond it has a hole all the way through. Perhaps it has an after market tail stock as my other tail stock had one too?

First try at rough placement

Hi Nick am going to make a box out of angle to put my rail in similar to this one but with differant ends as mine needs to hang from under the lathe surface on a bracket i made up.

I am unsure if I wil need to construct lower threaded piece as gravity and the weight of my motor will pull this downward. but will make boxes up with this in mind. It might be that the pull wil be so much that the screws will have to go on it to keep it balanced

Sorry the technical drawings were not good the runners need to be 15mm square so not quite so heavy as will be quite short but will try to get 1m

Managed to get my 3/4" shaft made so it was .747" to take bearings and pulleys today. Its starting to take shape I am still shoppig for 1m of 15mm x15mm for tracks to run this on

More parts arrived . Thanks Nick for the datasheet

Thanks Muszzer , Nicholas

Yes very frustrating but wont make same mistake again buying inverter technology . The rails are looking harder to make than i thought through lack of materials i need a larger section than 25 x 15 . This is why I thought of tool steel I am presuming 25 x 25mm. I was going to use angle to make the box up and bolt rails to it with a long piece of threaded bar to pull it down it wont need much force as the weight of the motor is on a counter balance pulling on lower belt too. do you think its worth making it without threaded bar in first case. How do you manufacture a fast thread is it just a coarse one?

Cheers Martin.

Hopefully some more bits will arrive soon. This will be much nicer that the lay shaft as will live under the lathe

Yes its a nice machine

I have started buying parts for my high speed lathe rpm for my Drumond.

Since installing this i have had issues with a RUBBISH 3PH INVERTER AND RUBBISH MOTOR AND HAD NO REFUND FROM THE SUPPLIER FOR THE MOTOR WHICH HAS BEEN DESTROYED BEWARE WHO YOU PURCHASE THIS FROM.

I have sicne settled on a single phase motor which runs too fast for high speed and have started buying parts to make this . I have purchased two additional pulleys a 4" and a 5" and some new bearings

I cannot seem to find a bearing guide so am going to make my own out of angle iron and tool steel.

Will check in , when i measure it in light thanks

Thanks Robbo will do will advice

Thanks Paul looks good, How far are the bolts going into the saddle please?

Thanks Baz, Jason,

Its a drummond 3.5 but its been modded before i got it and am happy to mod something to fit . I did try google but was amazed how many there are of different sizes and types.

Woud this need two holes drilled and tapped after centering the travelling slide

Hi how d you fix on a travelling steady. I am not sure how they mount on to the slide or which one to buy. Can anyone help please?

Has anyone bolted on a travelling steady to their drummond have no idea what type to get or how it bolts to sadle
