Thread: Sieg baby lathe not starting

There is a microswitch on the mounting bar for the chuck guard. If the guard is not fitted and the bar has been rotated it will not allow the motor to start.

Richard,

You could try Blackgates Engineering. They are at Shaw Cross Business Park in Dewsbury.

Thread: Atlas 10" runout
14/10/2012 19:34:52

Martin,

As far as I'm aware the bearings on my Atlas 10F are in good condition. I cannot feel any play and I've never found any need to adjust them.

I've checked the runout this weekend. The spindle register (1.625"dia) has 0.001" runout.

I don't have a test bar so I fitted a 3/8" silver steel bar into an MT3/ER25 collet holder. The runout adjacent to the collet nut was 0.0015". At 3" from the collet it was 0.002" and at 6" from the collet it was 0.0045".

Hope this helps

Kevin
