Thread: Boxford lathe spindle bearings
13/11/2015 21:32:25

Hi Speedy.

The Tee link belt on my Boxford is old and needs changing. I just haven't got around to doing it yet. The ends of the belt links have started to curl up. Which brings me to my point. When running the lathe in reverse the curled up ends catch as they pass through the machine from the base to the headstock. The first time it happened it frightened the life out of me.

I'm wondering if this was your problem rather than contaminated bearings??

Steve.

Thread: Measuring for the PA of an ordinary involute pinion gear

Hi Adam,
I've been following this thread with interest as I have the same problem ie finding the PA of given gear.
In your post you mention 16DP. The same DP as my gear. It did cross my mind that you were looking to make the same replacement gear as myself.
I nearly spat my tea out when you went on to mention Meddings! !
Pesky Tufnol Meddings gears. I'll be needing a 16 DP 20PA #2 cutter then.
