Just re-read my post above. It's a pdf copy of the lathe MANUAL that I've produced - not the lathe itself! Now that's something I'd like to see.

Hi John,

Thanks for your help.

Also IMO, your chart for the Gear Change for the BB22 is excellent as is your drawing of the actual chain.

Thirdly, I made up a special "Allen Key" tool to get the chucks off - but I'll be plagiarising your Chuck Bolt design too.wink

IMO another fantastic idea!

cheers Will

Hi everyone.
I hope it’s ok to jump in on this post.
My son gave me a lathe that’s badged as a Chester.
it looks like a clone of the BB22 lathe.
it originally had a mill attachment on the rear of the bed, my son removed that to make a stand alone milll.

The reason for my post is, the lathe only has one belt fitted. It goes from the motor straight up to an idler pulley.
Can anyone tell me what size belt/belts do I need to make it usable please?
Also, can anyone tell me where I might find a manual, if one exists.

Thanks in anticipation.
Rob
