Thread: Strange angle ?
09/03/2011 10:24:28
Hi
A further look at the LeBlond lathes on that site, it is not the same as the one we had.
This one had a 4 Way tool post and when it was on the stop, parallel with and at right angles to the bed, the slide travel was at an angle.
This has thrown no light on the original post.
Sorry for the confusion
Regards
Keith

Hi
Back in the Sixties in a Railway Depot we had a Leblond Lathe from the War years .
The top slide on this lathe was made with the axis set around to I think about 27 deg Anti Clockwise from 90 to the bed.
The sides of the slide were flush with the cross slide and this was "Normal" .position
At http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjNsKVPM2BI a very large leblond is shown working and this has the same top slide.
Could the Boxford be built in a similar way. No changing the top slide to cut threads.
Regards
Keith
