Thread: Chuck lock
23/01/2011 12:39:27
There have been comments in recent threads about the risk of chucks becoming unscrewed when running the lathe in reverse; I thought that this idea may be of use to anyone else whose lathe has a similar configuration spindle
I have a twenty-odd year old far eastern lathe (Lin Huan) which I bought new . It came with all the normal accessories, and the faceplate has a split collar on it which when tightened, prevents it from unscrewing.
One diameter fits the boss on the back the chucks'' backplates ( I''ve machined them all to the same diameter) and the other, the end of the spindle next to the thread.
Thanks to all for the useful and entertaining postings to the forum.

Hi
Issue 172 still not arrived in Phalaborwa South Africa.
In the past year, it arrived about 7 days after the date mentioned in the previous issue.
Taking the weather, cancelled flights in concideration. It should have been here by Friday, up to this morning no MEW in post.

 MEW 172 arrived in George South Africa yesterday so hold thumbs Eddie!

This may be of help, I'm building a South African Railways Class 1in 1/12th scale and it's getting to the stage where it's too heavy to handle comfortably.  I copied the idea from a very experienced and helpful modeler in our club.
 
Good luck
Peter Tempest
