Sorry to see you grinding away back-gear mounts. it is extremely useful part and you will regret that !!!

[@EngineerSteve]

Maybe I will but the problem is that there are some parts missing to make the original driveline work and there are no parts available. For me it was a choice between making this machine work again or leave it unusable.

I was also horrified by the removal of the supporting structures. I should perform a similar mini lathe motor modification. Now the transmission of the motor installed is counterproductive as in the video. The chunk rotation speed is far too much If I don't use back gears for a decrease speed. My intention is to add a reduction gear between the motor and the lathe. Example similar belt transmissions type is used many press drilling machines. But if you will be able to fulfill the intended purpose with a motor change, thumbs up! 😊 Perhaps the frequency converter could work on the decrease in chunk revolutions ?

If I had £1 for every time I've reassembled my lathes headstock, THEN realised I hadn't fitted the belt, I'd have at least enough for a couple pints of lager. :D

It is indeed easy to forget 🙂 Cheers anyway!
