so to end the story of the cave/lathe at last its going.

had a ballache getting the gearing sorted out as the speeds were to high. i also had to buy a new chuck, which meant i had to machine up a new faceplate :) .

so heres the gears as i bought it

Image

and after many changes heres the setup i ended up with.


Image



and first job was making an imperial backplate for a 7.5inch chuck fit a metric 165mm chuck with different mounting holes and chuck mount :eek2

old one

Image


new one made from the old one

Image



and nice new chuck mounted and running nice and true

Image




and trump towers all but finished. remind me never to go through this sh1t again ever lol


Image

move along now nothing to see here. :thumbup: :thumbup:
