This is the front carriage from a Rivett 608 lathe. The serial number is 361 which dates it to 1935. This is from the same machine I have a headstock for sale from. The carriage is in overall good shape. All the gears on the backside are in great shape, so for those of you who have worn out...

I have just acquired a Boxford ME10 lathe and had great fun stripping it down to move it home, in doing so I came across a couple of minor issues, if anyone has any pointers I would feel much appreciated for any guidance. 1. The previous owner fitted a variable speed three phase motor with an...

Hi guysa few weeks ago I finished the rebuild and repaint on my lathe, and also did a few repairs to it, including removing several loose spare parts from the bottom of both gearboxes, and putting them back where they should have been!I have also got a nearly new set of spindle bearings for this...

Hi there, long time since I last posted here, I am about to purchase a new chuck for my grizzly metal lathe, I will be making a new back plate for it and was wondering if aluminium would be a good material to use rather than cast or steel? the reason for this is I have a good supply of aluminium...
