Lathes

[ed morini]

I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to see that I got one of the lathes. I really appreciate it very much. It was very good to meet and talk with you this afternoon.

Again Thank you

No problem Ed, it was cool that you finally got one. After looking at my shop and taking some hard measurements...I think I may pass on mine. Still not sure, I may post it if I decide not to take. Check with Slip and Mike, I think the may have an extra tool rest and face plate. You might be abla to work something out.

If you decide you are going to pass and no one else wants one, please let me know I would be interested in your lathe. I have already ordered some of the missing parts for mine, so, I'm all set. If anyone has any questions or need parts for these I may be able to steer them in the right direction, or at least try.

Thanks again

Ed, there is an extra tool rest or 2 here but just the part that slides on the bed., you can have it and a face plate if you want.

I need to change to dead center(worn bearing), is there a way to update it to a different version?

thanks

[ed morini]

Thanks slip,I could use those. If you have a live center with bearings you can get a replacement at Packard Woodworks: The Woodturner's Source
These lathes have a #2 Morse Taper and you should have no problem updating. The other upgrade is a jawed chuck either a 3 or four (usually 4) from ONEWAY or the like. You can also get into stebcenters that allow you to remove stock from the centers without shutting down. Let me know I will be happy to take a trip to your place and help out anytime.

Packard can be high $$$ but the quality is good
