Martin, Andrew and Noel, A big THANK YOU for your input. Noel visited visited this week (what a very nice bloke), he gave me some confidence in getting this lathe up and running. I'm busy for a couple of weeks on other matters, but will then get the paraffin, rags and WD40 out to fully clean this up. It will need re-wiring, as it has been somewhat molested. It would be ideal to restore the paintwork too - I enjoy the "journey" of restoration. Regards ANDREW

Dear Folks, I have take some photos of the motor (single phase) and the two boxes at the rear of the lathe. Oh my the control box (whatever that is used for), has relays, etc. I wonder if I need to use this, or if this is for a three-phase input? I just wonder what the general view is: (1) use existing controls or (2) bypass and re-wire? I am concerned if this control, panel NEEDS to be used for the electro-magnetic clutch, any ideas?
Regards ANDREW

@Howard - thank you. I've not heard of Saracens Head railway group. I guess it must be another location (not Lincs)? I too was thinking how nest I can get a three-jaw chuck mounted - I have little clue currently. Just a little daunted by this project. Kindest regards ANDREW

Dear Noel, I had four men from my local congregation to help move it for me, I think the weight is circa 320kg! Kindest regards

Dear Folks,
P.S. I was going to attach photos, but I'm new to this platform and can't work it out. |
