Parms chuck is a Taylor or yours? Definitely don't have jaws for a Taylor

Brilliant chucks but jaws of any description are rarer than rocking horse sh*t sadly.

 

[God mode restorations]

Taylor chucks are fantastic built chucks. But getting harder to find now.

 

[Pete.]

TBH I prefer a flat-faced chuck. Often I'll use a parallel against the face to set a part up in the jaws. Not possible with the sculpted face of the taylor chuck.

Swing is the American way of classing lathe size. Whereas we state the centre height, they quote the maximum diameter it'll turn. It makes things sound bigger.

We can include Myford in that, amazing how the ML7 has the same swing as the 3 1/2" Drummond but the Myford sounds twice as big. Speaking of which I need a bigger three jaw or something with both sets of jaws anything over 2" is getting very close to the end of the scroll, well I don't really, I just need to get faster clocking in the four jaw.

I've got a drawer of bearing races I use for that, just got to remember to take them out before you start the lathe!

Picked this up the other day for £20, real heavy bit of kit

Nice acquisition.

Besides Dohm Colt, I've also seen them advertised as Dohm Wilson.

Robin, knows more about my machine than I do, my chuck is a Taylor chuck

Accquired with grandson some cones today , they dry surprisingly fast in the woodstore/ workshop.

They will be glowing away nicely in the woodstove come the cold weather.

Had to think there for a minute as to what you were meaning about me knowing your lathe better than you, I then realised it was the other Robin

Yep, @eLuSiVeMiTe, he’s also called Robin

 

[Hood]

Yes, just didn't twig right away

 

[bert]

Collected it a few weeks ago but built a stand for it today, will definitely need a bigger compressor though

And I thought it was a fairly unusual name!

Saaaaaaggggggggggggyyyyyyyyyy suspension..



There is quite a bit in there surprisingly, and she’s not on the bump stops yet

Thanks @malcolm

Also picked up a four jaw chuck from @eLuSiVeMiTe too

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Yes. Il concur looked like you had slammed the van. Hope you avoided speed bumps.
Id have had the lathe away before you if I had the room.
Have fun with the rebuild. Great way to get to know your lathe.

Im sure there's a touch of deja vu in the air.

Pretty sure weve all had this convo before.

 

[malcolm]

Good to meet you Steve. Tired me out just watching you move it!

I think I recall there is another of us unique people on the forum, I think he is maybe a Farmer?
Maybe not so unique after all, that may be a good thing

For charging up electric eels.
