Pitching this post to any owners of the Russian RYAZAN 1M63 Lathe, which is a Soviet-era copy of an older German lathe. What sets the 1M63 apart is the fascinating taper-turning facility which you'll find on no other lathe. Although a comparative walk-in-the-park for modern CNC machinery for a manual lathe the 1M63 uses the little-known combined feeds technique for machining tapers.

Go searching for this on YouTube for instance and you'll drown in videos on all the orthodox methods and everything in between but astonishingly, nothing on the combined feed arrangement as used on the 1M63.

My request is, for any 1M63 owner out there could they please do a descriptive video explaining the features of the driven compound slide followed by the facility in action. Post the link to the video here. I am confident it will be well watched. Also, could they also post all the relevant pages from the lathe owners manual especially any exploded view diagrams showing the internal mechanism.

Out of idle curiosity I Googled the lathe for a picture. What a whopper! I guess you won't be using it for watchmaking anytime soon. One video on youtube came up but I didn't watch it. It looked like an advertisement video for one that was for sale, Good luck with your quest and finding somewhere to put it.

When I was managing a mould and die shop we bought a couple of Stanko milling machines. Real big beefy things that replaced Adcock Shipley 2S which was worn out in under two years. The Stanko mills could really shift metal, came well equipped and had a feature to mill a square or rectangular pocket using the traverse switches, Apart from 1950s style electrics that could be troublesome they where good machines. Imported by a company in Warwick (MTA) Maybe Michael's suggestion will show a similar machine to your lathe ?
