The Secret Society of Lathe Trolls

I see the type 50 ohm res But what is the type and value of the other ? Also you show two solinoids on the the diagram . One on the mount arm that throw arm for the puck and another next to the 40uf 240v cap. Looks like a black selenium rectifier, any numbers or values - I think I can see EDI PRS I ...

It seems I will need the bronze c bearing adaptor as well

thanks that’s what I needed

Tooooo many projects that’s my problem. I had no chance to even go near the lathe since my last post.

This year I am determined to make the effort and get it back up and running

Hi guys, I put my lathe down for a few year and am looking to finish it this year I posted the video on YouTube with the rare variable pitch unit. Presto were know to make test/sample models and put them out in the field for testing. https://youtu.be/g4E6ysveYpg . Here is the link. I am still trying...

Do you have any picture of the old pulleys, I need to make some

Thanks

I am interested if you still have it

Very nice, I did mine a few years ago, but I am still looking for a door

You need to move this to the classified section thanks

Let me know thanks

I would be interested in this, but I am in the U.K. I already own one and would like another

Look for the two brass, bronze drive pulleys, original or repro

Maybe someone could get a local engineering company the copy theirs, happy to pay.

I know this is an old post, but I am still looking. Bump

Well its been a mad couple of years, new relationship, new job, moved house, got married and yes the 8DG came with me, Time to pull it out of the packing boxes and get it up and running again. I have a nice place to put it at the back of the house. Happy Days if I can fit it into all my other projec...

I have done this power conversation to loads of lathes in the UK

12v to 110v inverter, type you get for campers from US eBay

2500 pure sign wave should do.

Then buy a 50amp power supply 12v and just wire it up and off you go.

If you want to go the other way, just reverse the process.

It went for a crazy price

I used to make long shank ones years ago as I have a watch lathe.

PMed thanks
