36 forum posts 2 photos | I have an L5 with the norton gearbox that i am resurecting from single to 3 phase and a general tidy up . i have 3 questions
what was the original motor pulley size ? what is a good modern oil for the head ? and finally what changewheels are 'standard fit' to enable the gearbox to run as listed on the cover ?
thank you .. |

It is the screwcutting chart for the 'basic' L5 model: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364215982969 |

the bit im finding confusing is the change wheels .it has an imperial norton box but does changing the change wheels alter the tpi on the box ?

Hold a piece of broomstick in the chuck and use a marker pen in the toolpost to draw the thread onto the wood. Alter the changewheels upstream of the gearbox and see what effect it has. Please advise which of the manuals you have and the page number that is relevant to your machine. Do the gears you have on the machine right now match what is there? |
