Re: Tailstok lower casting
Yours is probably fixable. With a little careful filing, you should be able to make the "V" fit against the "V" on the bed. Once they match, you might need to install a shim between the upper & lower

Re: Thinking of you.
Alan a very good summary in my opinion. Can I also suggest you could go one step further and buy a battery bank, a charger and a DC to mains inverter. This way you could have a bank of batteries as

Re: Thinking of you.

I can make you one, if you want. I have replaced that part on all my 7x lathes with one that will stay aligned. $25 postpaid in the US. I have also converted the TS on my lathes to lock with an

Re: Thinking of you.
That's the same as we have, and there is a 10 second auto delay before the generator cuts in, so as to give time to differentiate between a mains dip and a power cut, the genny runs until it is

Re: Tailstok lower casting
Are you sure it is messed up? It is possible to rotate the keeper plate 90 or more degrees and then it won't lock down properly. Check this out before replacing! Bob

Hi, my lower casting on tail stock is messed up. Don't know how, but it wiggles, and its hard to align it right (V is damaged). I have asked LMS do they sell just that part, but unfortunately they

Hi Roy I've only tried the kitchen oven a few times and didn't notice it lingering but that might be down to the powder I used and a separate oven is a far better idea. People regularly dump ovens

Re: 4" 4-jaw Union Mfg. chuck
Sounds like a good plan. The registration recess is the important bit; that's what sets the chuck concentric to the spindle. That said, if the chuck is an independent 4-jaw, the work will need to be
