![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | Hi Nobby Well that should keep you busy for a bit! It looks reasonable cosmetically so a bit of elbow grease should make a big impression. I find this type of project very rewarding - bringing stuff back to life so to speak. Do you intend to treat us to a photo diary of your restoration? ( please!) Norman

![]() 2314 forum posts 139 photos | Nobby I notice that Tony ( at Lathes.co.uk) is seeking photos of this lathe - no doubt you will already have seen the information presented there. I guess he might be a useful contact re removing bits? N |

Have fun nobby

940 forum posts 30 photos | Hi Nobby Looking closely at your photo of the gear it looks like there might be a seam between the gear and the part with the holes in. If so could the part with the holes in it be a collar that screws onto the shaft and locks the gear onto a keyed shaft. That way it would allow different gears to fitted to the lead screw shaft. Just a thought Martin |

![]() 7468 forum posts 230 photos | No sure of the protocol here, a driven shaft on the LH end, would it have a left hand thread? Or would that be on the driving shaft? Just thinking out loud, sorry if I confuse things. Ian S C |

![]() 3988 forum posts 1799 photos | Hi Nobby, I should have realised that it was a collar with pins through the gear and into the leadscrew. Same type of keying that you get with the old Drummond and one or two other makes of lathe from that era. Martin's obsevations said it all really. I'd say the threaded hole up the middle of the leadscrew would be for a set screw for retaining it all together when in use, as I suspect that the gear and the collar are normally just a sliding fit. Hope the rest of the rebuild goes OK and I bet it will look a nice machine when it's finished. Regards Nick. Edited By Nicholas Farr on 22/08/2012 21:28:18 |
