Thread: Chuck Backplate Problem
14/05/2010 16:38:39
  Hello dear Friends and warm Greetings from Greece
(Yes we are still alive after EMF Visit !!!)
Recently a friend of mine give me free a 2nd hand Chinesse lathe that i try to restore and use it as is very nice machine and i be very happy to have it in working condition .
 My problem is that lathe come without chuck or backplate and as i dont have a large machine to fit an un machined  casting backplate and work it i must found a new or used backplate with already made the thread to put it on my lathe and then to make the facing and grooving operations on the lathe to fit .
  I look on the web to find the right backplate but i cant find what i need as all the backplates are on Imperial dimensions .
 My spindle is 56.5 mm or when i turn my caliper on inch shows 2.225 in.
The therad is 8 TPI . can some friend help me what type of backplate i need please ?
I suppose the Chinesse designer copy some other lathe but which lathe have this spindle ?
My very best regards and many thanks in advance together with a very big sorry for my English as i am totally self learned .

Hello David , thanks for your reply .
I suppose that if someone wish to give them to non subscribers or even worst to sell them,  can do it even with flexi page . Print to file -convert to PDF - Done . If someone really wish to make the damage the flexi will not stop them . The matter is that we can save lot of bandwith if we can have them as PDF .
Anyway maybe some people knows better than me about it.
 
Do you have any idea how many back issues will be posted there ?
 
Again my best regards
Your friend

Hello
This is really a nice addition to the site but why this slow Flexipage system ?
I think if someone have the chance to download them and read them with Acrobat format in his own computer will be much better than to this Flexipage format .
Anyway good for first time , i hope to improve .
Anybody knows how many back issues will be uploaded ?
Regards
Apostolos
