Hi Ryno,
Unfortunatley i didnt make any cad drawings or the parts i made. I did make a few rough sketches on paper of some of the parts that needed working out but they were very rough and the...
Yup,i only know from personal experience. theres nothing that indicates the chuck size on that page.
4 jaw indipendants are good for holding oddly shaped pieces and for jobs that require high...
I used to have a minilathe from Machinemart many years ago and they are made to suite an 80mm chuck, our Amadeal lathes use a 100mm chuck. you could fit a 80mm chuck to our lathes but you would need...
Caleb, I use this type of parting tool on my lathe Chronos Ltd Clamp Type Parting Tools they work great and very reasonably priced. duno if they sell them in us tho.

Earthman, yup any No2 morse taper atachment will fit your tailstock. The other accessories on that page SHOULD also fit your lathe with the acception of the face plate and 4 jaw chuck.

Earthman, you can get adjustable height tool posts but they dont come as standard. they make a lathe much more plesant to use and speed things up alot,not to mention repeatable tool changes. I...
Hi earthman, that looks like a good set to get you going. one thing i found with the brazed tiped tools is that they often dont cut verywell when you first get them,with most of mine i had to...
Loply, thanx for that offer,i might just take you up on that. I still need to strip the headstock down to see which of the 2 gears have been damaged,mabe even both but im hopeing it only damaged...
Love how the PD2 mount looks like a "H" for Hoss.
I realy gata try some powdercoating sometime. your parts look awesome.

Sooooo,I had a little mishap today:rolleyes: I overlooked an error in the Gcode i was running,and drove my boreing bar into a pice of 2" bar stock at full rapid speed (4000mm/min) and full...
When i did the taperd roller bearing mod to my lathe during the conversion,i was also a bit dubious about useing the cheep un named brands so i used SKF's but i would think any of the brands you...
Hmmm, just looking at the picture in the link you posted. it shows the older type tailstock in the pic. i bought my lathe almost exactly 12 months ago from Amadeal and the tailstock that mine came...
Fragger, Could the "V" thats cut into the underside of the saddle be worn more on the edges of the saddle than in the centre? Or mabe the top of the "V" on the bed is rubbing on the underside of the...
Fred, Thanx for the drawing,its much app. Now i can order some 1.5" round bar and get to work makeing a few. Think the first ones i'll try will be with a JT2 taper for drill chucks.
...
Fred, thx for the quik reply. what i think i might do is just buy one from Tormach to take the measurements off so i get it right. I will be useing them with an ATC eventualy but i dont even have the...
Fred, Intresting thread, I been planing to make some TTS style holders for awhile. I was going to make hosses version of them from the drawings on his site,but i would prefer to make some identical...
Ok i figured out why i was haveing problems threading. Turns out the version of Mach i was useing doesnt thread very well so i updated to the latest version (R3.043.053). after the update i tried...
Loply, 2mm DOC in steel sounds pritty damn good, are you useing the original spindle motor? and what size is your motor? I would imagine 1800RPM is still plenty fast enough but you also get...
Fred, I did all those mods during the conversion with the exeption of the heavy duty saddle plates, what are saddle plates?
Iv never pushed it to the point of chatter so im not sure what its...
Fragger, What spindle RPM do you usualy thread at? My first try when it all went pear shaped was at 550 Rpm with a 0.2 DOC radial. At the time it looked like the DOC was to much and so made the...
I bought the full licenced version of Mach3 a few days ago,so the first thing i wanted to try out was threading,as you cant thread with the demo version.
My first attempt didnt go so well, depth...
Loply, also thanx for your input, Like you,im not confident in the original enclosure and also taped up the gap at the side and used a bit of silicone in other places. I have also blew the circuit...
Zygoat, thanx for your input,thats a good idea,duno why i didnt think of doing that. It will certanly help keep the tank clean for longer.

Hoss, Absolutly luv your tool change projects,infact all your projects are awesome.
I just recently finished a lathe conversion so next on the list is a BF20 type mill conversion useing your...
I just set up my lathe with flood coolant in preperation for makeing some of the TTS style tool holders for my mill, i will be useing Hoss's drawings for the exact dimentions. some will be JT2 for...
I been playing around with Lazy turn the last few days. Its a realy cool program considering its free,and very easy to use. From what i can tell from recent searches there are very few free lathe cam...

TXFred, If you look on the second page of this thread at the 8th post down you will see a part list of the ball screws i used,they were all bought from Zapp automation and the part numbers relate...
