Glad to see this new video posted! I bought the same lathe almost a year ago and am quite slowly bringing it back to life, so am following your progress with great interest. My headstock looks pretty good inside, so to start I’ll flush it, fill with fresh oil and see how it runs, but I’m about to drop the carriage, as you did in this chapter, to make sure it isn’t polluted. Thanks for sharing your work and good luck with the reassembly!
Hello mate, that was a brilliant video. I really enjoyed it. Its a similar journey you are on with your lathe as I am with my Harrison mill. I wish I had a parts cleaner as everything on the mill is filthy and its backbreaking work with a big plastic box, solvent and brushes etc to clean it all. Good score on the NOS clutch basket. I just got a NOS X axis lead screw and nut for my mill. Old nut was worn out. I got the NOS parts for less than the cost of a piece of bronze to make a nut. I have made slow progress this year as my wife has been poorly. Your channel has spurred me on. I like what you do as you are working in a similar way to me, in a similar space. Merry Christmas to you and thanks for all the great content in 2024.
@@carlwilson1772 the parts washer is a great addition to the workshop although could very easily be made up on the cheap , I just bought some industrial grade detergent non solvent so it's not as dangerous and irritating to have in the heated workspace. I managed to score the clutch basket on black Friday deals for £65 but the other replacement feed gears I have sourced came at a much higher price. Wishing you and the wife a happy holidays & hope she's on the mend now.
You were a lucky gut, to find those NOS parts, especially the clutch basket. ( saves you Tig welding those edges up and re machining). Are you going to repaint the outside? (almost rude not too🤣). Lucky you acquired that shaper, eh. its a good plan B, if the 'Cosmic supply Co' does not come up trumps. All the best for 2025!
@@ratboy2962 yes that's it I couldn't pass up the opportunity when it became available! Not badly priced either on black Friday sales I only paid £65 for the clutch basket, I have since Also found a pair of replacement feed gears safe to say they came at a much higher price :'( , I had bought that shaper with the intention of using it to cut gears with tight shoulders that can't be done with conventional cutter set-up I'm quite looking forward to firing up the Elliot 10M , just need to get this gearbox back together ( and yes you're right it would certainly be rude not to give the old beast some fresh paint)
