Dear Mustie1.
Don't know why, but I definitely missed this video until now.
Best regards, luck and health.
Never would have thunk on the brake jig.
Bronze? Aluminum…for gawd sake can’t someone cut some steel on an old lathe? CAn it be done or no? Seriously . I’d love to buy one but
Not to cut soft stuff with it
THe magnifier is a great idea! Never thought of that
On such a short piece you shouldn't use live center. That is a nice lathe I had one like it only mine was about 6 feet long I made my belt out of an old leather belt and stitched it together with wire.
That is a cool old lathe.
Get a copy of the book "How to run a lathe" by South Bend Lathe Co – should be online – good information to know
Never seen one of those brake shoe clamps. Wish I had, with the number of relines I did as an apprentice!
Cool lathe, do you know the spindle size and thread pitch on the chuck, I see you have adaptor plate on the back of it…Thanks….Ed
If you run the tip just slightly low ( or give the tool more rake ) you wouldn't sequel and rub as much.
Looks like it works well. Seems to be running very true. Great idea to make it portable.
very cool ! Soooo… is the bus done yet?
Looks like it works real good Mustie.
great new tool, should come in handy, and your have fun playing with it.
Fantastic machine!
awsome!!!!
