109 Lathe Project

[[email protected]]

I have been working on my 109 lathe .

Made a new stand

put a 90 volt dc motor and controller on it .

Have a lot of the original extas for it . I picked up a 3 '' 3 jaw chuck and a better tool post for it .

I have one of those. When I mounted it to the bench i used spacer at the hold downs to raise it an inch. Makes for cleaning the debris easier. Also did the treadmill motor bit. Its a touchy little thing, have bent more than one spindle taking to big a bite

very nice looking stand . what HP rating on the motor. I have a couple of those in the basement I want to bring to life.

Its a 1/3 hp 1800 rpm . Most of the metal work I plan on doing with it will be on aluminum .

that should be plenty .Like others have said the spindle is small and prone to bending if overloaded.
