Nothing like a bit of encouragement ....wow

Kurt has some wonderful older machines that will soon be a regular part of his channel .He won't please the purists but his end results are what matter . The KW facing borer did a fine job of facing the riser .

Up at 5am (normal for me) cleaned up my wee shed ,it'll only take 5 min and it'll be back where it was , some repairs to the lathe and caravan . Then did some contemplating .

Thanks Nigel.

Hi Rob,

my lathe is a Boxford model CUD ,I believe this screw is not original to my lathe, but it fits and works none the less. Having it gives me options I believe ...

I'll insert a photo of my cross feed screw. I have sourced a couple of parts, the casting that houses the outer thrust bearing washers and supports the hand wheel along with a micrometer dial which is imperial which I might be able to work with until I source a metric one . I'm toying with making a hand/thumb wheel . Going by what I've read this is not the standard cross feed screw. Parts seem quite hard to find . Anyone have a set of thrust washer bearings for this

Can mods delete this post ... I'm on repeat

Dang it ,in my haste I forgot I already had a thread . I apologise

I recently bought a run down Boxford lathe knowing it needed some TLC 9 (I like a challenge) . I have it up and running bar the cross slide feed screw ,which was bent on the outer end (handwheel side of things ),I've managed to source the little casting on the front of the cross slide which was broken . the hand/thumb wheel was absent too . I've tried to straighten the screw which was not very successful ,so I tried to do a dowel and pin repair which turned out ok but I'm just not 100% happy with .

These parts are hard to come by and I appreciate that, I just wondered would anyone on here have any pointers where I may source the two parts ? the hand/thumb wheel ,micrometer dial 

This is the leadscrew

Hi

It's been a while since I've been on here ,asking for some help and information .Today I bought this lathe knowing it had a couple of issues but I paid a good price for it. The first and main issue is the cross feed hand wheel is MIA the feed screw is bent just before it goes into the cross slide ,the casting that bolts onto the face of the cross slide where the feed screw and handwheel are supported is missing . Basically I need the whole cross feed screw assembly . I may manage to straighten the outer part of the feed screw I'm not sure . The serial number at the tailstock end is ...CUD--ll--26640, Is this lathe metric or imperial . I'm maybe not making any sense but I'm sure somebody will correct me.

Is there a good source for parts for this lathe or is it a case of just hunting them down .

Reason I'm so unprepared on this lathe is that my wife sprung it on me today ,she knew I was watching it so she sent a lowball offer which was accepted .

Bring this back to life . I've also found one for not much money . I have two questions. .

!...

2...

Does the lathe have power ?

Am I right in saying I will only need to use red and yellow wires for the new thermostat ?
