Thread: Smart and Brown 1024 Lathe

Hi John,

Much appreciated. PM sent

Hello,

I'm hoping that one of the members might have some experience with the above model lathe.

The power feed function to carriage and crosslide stopped working, although the feed shaft continued to rotate.

I later found the (worn) key from the feed shaft in the chip tray, I aligned the keys ways and put the key back in and turned it over by hand and all seems well.

Any advice or drawing on how this key should be retained would be much appreciated. I’m really hoping to avoid a carriage / apron strip down

Thanks

Peter

Thanks guys, its nice to be welcomed !

what actually started all this was heart over head purchase of a Moto Guzzi with a sheared exhaust header stud, that's removal can only be described as a comedy of errors. The current thought process is that if i have the right tools for the job I'd stand a fighting chance of not making it worse

Ian S C, your entirely right, I made some vice jaw liners from copper with only a handsaw, drill, file and several blisters.

Bazyle, a mill seems like to right start to me any thoughts one the Aciera F3 for sale
