Gerrit, this is just an observation on my part and just my opinion, but I find a lot of emphasis is placed on the tailstock that it has to be spot on and positioned within tenths vertically and horizontally , I know its a standard that should be, but its not always so, I see that the...

a further update, this is the beginning of machining the header tank, its to hold the cores together, http://youtu.be/MyH-3ehNxY8 .....Edmund.........Alberta

Hello Chucki, the horizontal bar is a guide bar for a new tailstock I developed, the idea came to me after seeing Mr Urwick's Metal Master Lathe back in the sixties http://www.lathes.co.uk/metalmaster/ It allows me to move the saddle past the new tailstock when drilling keeping the...

Hello Gerrit, thank you for the interest and your comment, re your request about ER16 collet holder and shank, the shank was 6" long, I was under the impression the original Taig tailstock spindle was a standard .500 dia but found it to be either under size for a purpose or metric, the new...

Thank you George, your suggestion is duly noted, although I'm afraid its a bit too late coming, as I don't think I will ever need another one, unless this one fails, a bit of trivia, Mr Westbury never designed a rad for the Sealion hence my search for ideas for one, I had thought about...

Hello Bob, thank you, re blood pressure, by the time I had 8 good cores, I also had a few not good enough, almost like development stages so to speak, so I used them to test before attacking the real thing, even so at the start of drilling the first of the eight the thoughts were god help if...

An update on progress with building a radiator (Jerry Howell's design) I have finished the fins on all 8 cores, these photos show the drilling of the 5/32 core holes, I had to make some tooling to support the outer end, it consists of a aluminium plate that fits the tool holder and has a ball...

Here are some photos of some things I have changed on my Taig Lathe, these photos include a top slide to cross slide new clamping system similar to the Hardinge HLV_H Toolroom lathe, it consists of a floating pillar and an eccentric locking shaft it works 100% better than Taig design, also...

I have been a member for quite a few years but haven't submitted anything in a long time, I was contacted by a HMEM group email reminding me of that fact, and asking for an update, I did belong to quite a lot of Yahoo groups but because the lack of interest in my projects was evident, and I...

The original Taig Tailstock is a lot to be desired, its definitely the the downfall of an otherwise decent little lathe, so after purchasing one recently I decided I had to try to improve it, so here is my best effort, below you will see some unprofessional video of my progress, start at the top...

Jim, haven't you sold that yet, I can vouch for this man, if he has an item to sell it will fit the asking price, he's probably on the low side with price in relation to the item condition, .......Edmund.......
