ive uploaded more pictures of the spindle,not much to comment on it,as theres only the spindle and two

split bronze bearing,ive left mine in the headstock,it looked hard to get out without damaging them.

never noticed any play on the spindle,the bearing dont look too badly scored and no deep scratches.

when i separated the spindle from headstock i measured the diameter of it where it was in the bearings and

where flatbelt pulley is and the bullwheel

the measurement of the spindle is 1.125",and the measurement of my spindle are

nose end (front) is 1.122",the middle where bull gear and pulley is 1.123" and the back where gear train is

1.123"

the measurement that you see on the pictures was in mm (as i didnt have a imperial mic at the time)

i hope this helps

dunno,i uploaded 1. then uploaded 2 then so on

nothing changed at my end

maybe threatening to do a basil fawlty (thrashing car with a tree branch ) on my monitor might have help

hi all

ive been given a unknown tapping attachment,there no name on it

does anyone reconise this,if so what size taps will this use

theres also a knurled part with numbers on

it looks it has two holders for taps at the front,and it also goes into reverse

when it reaches the end and its got a mt1

ive never seen this type of tapping attachment,so im clueless on how it works

and setting it up

i would of thought where the red circles are,would be closer to the bed

a couple of more showing the gib strip

the gib strips are present

as seen here on left hand side,you can see a bit of light between the gib and the gib screw,specialy if you click picture

after seeing all the negative comments how rubbish these vices are,and said to myself

surely it cant be all that bad

decided to try it on pillar drill,then found out the lead screw that tightens the vice was catching

on the round bar that holds the drill,and thought take the top slide of and turn it around so that that

lead screw was in front of me and not catching at the back,i then dropped something on the floor

bent down to pick it up,on standing up summat caught my eye on the vice,looked closely and said to my self

wtf ?????

now i know what you guys what you mean about the negative comments about the vice

this dont look much

and nor does this

i know clarke stuff are bad,but i didnt know it was this bad

theres about 2.5mm gap on the bottom slide,and about 1.5mm gap on the top slide

so instead of fettling this up,i gave it to a charity shop so they can benefit from it by selling it

this has cross my mind a few months back whether to invest in a compound table,and now after seein this state off vice,im gonna invest in a smallish compound table,does anybody have any recomendations

on where to get a used table (pref) and what prices,what makes,in the UK aswell

thanks
