Is that "cheating on your wife" ? :big: Holt

Yesterday afternoon once again i drove my son to sax practice, and once again i had 1½ hour to kill, so off to work i went, and turned some more oilers. And here they are, 14 more, making a total of 23 which should be enough for the whole lathe. now i just have to harvest the springs of all...

As promised a pic of how to remove the leadscrew from a roundhead Colchester, it looks to be the same principle on them all (at least triumph and student). It isn't necessary to remove the front of the Norton box, but it makes access easier.Mark the nut in some way, so you can see which side is...

With the halfnut repaired a new obstruction occurred, the halfnut couldn't be mounted because of the feedshaft being in the way! >:( So the next thing to do was remove the feedshaft, mount the halfnut, and assemble it all. sorry no pics of that. Just a hint to other doing the same repair...

The halfnut is repaired There wasn't room for the M6 bolthead at the bottom, so i reversed it, and made the treads in the halfnut, perfect fit! I only had Loctite 603, but i think it is an advantage because it don't require total cleanness, which can be difficult to obtain in old Ci, that...

It's Whitworth form, which means that it's 55 deg. Here you have a link to a discussion on the same subject, but i have to warn you it's 11 pages long, but if you have the time, it's quite amusing. http://www.theminiforum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=120177&hl=Whitworth

If you know someone working with EDM wirecutters, they usually have a EDM machine to make start holes with brass tubes, they removes such a broken tap in under 5 min. Holt

Very nice indeed! is this the original color? Holt

I had to open the norton box because i couldn't engage the 3 gears to the right, and some of the other was difficult to use once i opened it, i realiced that i wasn't the first to be there. Guess what was interfering with the gears A centerpunch was partly blocking the "come" making it...

If this is posted in the wrong place, please move it. I have been using Photobucket for some years, and suddenly they have "improved" the editing part, making it impossible to draw an arrow or a circle to highlight a detail in the photo. This is how i did it before This is what i managed with...

I have been thinking of that, but i think i will make a light fit, glue it w. loctite, and secure it with a bolt from the underside, like this Holt

This is what it looks like It sits in the apron like this (the apron is pivoted around the feed shaft) Holt

Pictures must be on reassembling ;D The reason i had to remove the leadscrew was because the halfnut (yes there are only one) are broken it's item No. 2 on the drawing This 3/4" pin is broken It looks to be cast iron, is it okay to heat shrink (is it called that?) a new piece into that? I...

I got it apart!! It turned out that the grub screw didn't screw into the trust sleeve as i thought, but into a loose disc that looked like a part of the trust sleeve. Once i screwed that off, the leadscrew slided right off. Dave, thank you very much for your help Holt

No it's not a double screw, now that i have fixed the small Maglite, i can see the treats in the hole,and the leadscrew rotates a little in the trust sleeve (as i learned it was named) but not more than the key allows. Holt

I have a download of an old manual, but it is a bit blurry, so i can't see it clearly. the shear pin is located at the exit of the headstock. i am afraid it once had an accident with the leadscrew, perhaps the key is partly sheared leaving it almost impossible to remove. It seems there is treats...

The trust at the inside, and the treaded area are one bush, and the leadscrew goes all the way through it, the two gears in the picture runs on the leadscrew. Holt

I serious need some help! I found the guide for the halfnut to the leadscrew is broken, and i have to remove the leadscrew to get to it. I have removed the two nuts and the bush by the gearbox Then i tried to remove the key, it moves, but it wont come off. I drilled and tapped a hole in the...

The distribution net here is of course also much higher voltage, the local distribution is 10.000V the regional distribution is 60.000V and cross contry is 150.000V, and then there is the "Backbone of Europe" running a few kilometers from me, running from Italy to Norway, where the country's can...

Reading various posts about machinery this size on this forum, it seems many of you use phase inverters. Isn't it normal for you to have 3 phase power? my guess is that over 99% of the houses in Denmark have 3 phase power. By the pavement, there is what they call a "tombstone" with 3 35A fuses...
