I just acquired one of these lathes. My lathe does not shift the “c or d” gear at all. Seems jammed but also looks like it moves the shaft that has 2 gears on it one is extra not being used. Any thoughts?
Hey Chris I figured it out. The c d lever was rough to shift it does move when tapped with a hammer. When I tear it down I will clean up the splines and it should be good I am sure there are just some burrs on the splines preventing it from moving easily. Thanks for your reply though
Hello Chris....good vids as usual. I have a colchester bantam with joy stick type selector....q. have you or do have any experience with one of those 126 toothed wheels for doing metric threading stuff?
neddypong I’m sorry neddy I’m not familiar with that machine , the only thing I could find on the subject was this www.model-engineer.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=70983
This gear and others on this lathe are 16DP. Divide the number of teeth +2 by the DP and find it's true outer diameter of 7.625 inches, or 7-5/8". From this gent's measurements, less than a millimeter error, so no problem. So if you know the DP of the gears for your lathe and the number of teeth on one of them, you can calculate it's diameter without taking it off. Good video 👍
thank you, very helpful to myself and others reading this if we can help one person we have done well , that's what the youtube community is all about , chris :)

It's a 120 tooth 16 diametral pitch - or is it 16 pitch angle or whateva !
