      Thanks! Its done well over the years, finished some lovely projects. Thanks for watching my videos! There's more training material in the pipeline for Adendorff machines...

    Hi. Picked up on this feed. Great to see SA guys doing vids. Have the same lathe as you. Added a clutch, which makes life a lot better and no sudden knock on start up. I felt sorry for those gears.
    Some good mods you done there ++

    Brilliant video. Still getting to grips with this machine and I did not understand how to engage longitudinal and cross cutting power feeds. I mistakenly used the halfnut lever 🙃🙃... believing the actual power feed lever is just a select lever. (The way it is setup on my Colchester Student)
    The result of this was that I believed the cross cutting feed wasn't working and on top of that, while I have installed the slowest gearset, the feed rate was still incredibly fast.

      Not to worry, many have done the same thing! The machines are pretty robust so you probably didn't damage anything... Thanks for watching!

      @@Lukers_tinkering in fact I went and check with my new found info and the facing/cross feed is not working!
      But I do understand the operation better.
      The main difference between the Colchester and the Adendorff as far as the feeds is concerned is that the Colchester uses an additional shaft for power feeding so the leadscrew is only used when threading. The arrangement on the Mac Afric machine caught me a bit of guard.
      The 9A South Bend lathe I have has the same type of setup as the Mac Afric lath although the controls operate more intuitively but this is likely due to the fact that the 9A comes with a quick change gearbox.
      I guess I will need to contact Adendorff to check on possible repair options.

    Hello,
    I just got one of these lathes, But no change gears, I can't find them anywhere. Do you have a list of the gears that came with this and what pitch they are as in 1.25 etc. And also the shaft size for the hole in the center?
    Thank you for whatever information you can give me. Mark

    • @Lukers_tinkering
      @Lukers_tinkering  6 месяцев назад

      Hi Mark, the gears needed are on the gear change chart on the side of the lathe or you can do a screen grab from the video. The shaft size should be measured from your lathe. I'm not sure of the modulus, and unfortunately I don't have a gauge.

    Read the instructions that comes with your specific machine.

    • @Lukers_tinkering
      @Lukers_tinkering  9 месяцев назад +2

      Reviewed a few lathes, and the instructions have never explained how to correctly set the gears. In fact, most instructions aren't very good nowadays 😕
