There is a chuck, looks fair new, and just offering it up to the morse taper on my tailstock, it doesnt quite fit as well as it should, so it could be. Picture included.
That looks like it, is there a threaded hole in the end that's not quite M10 which I presume is 3/8 witworth?There is a chuck, looks fair new, and just offering it up to the morse taper on my tailstock, it doesnt quite fit as well as it should, so it could be. Picture included.

I will look when in the workshop tomorrow, it looks fairly new so assume it must have been bought separate to the machine.That looks like it, is there a threaded hole in the end that's not quite M10 which I presume is 3/8 witworth?

your getting close there.A bit of Pete Tong on in the background for a bit of Friday night scraping...View attachment 830560
Dam I wish I had time to go to that? #kidinasweetshop ?Sale of engineering equipment just down the road from me this weekend. Lathes, milling machines, folders, and the rest, might be of interest to you metal working types!!

Might go for a look if its not harvesting weather.
Like a lathe bigger than my baby one but no 3 phase here and Id be well out of my depth with a lot of that stuff. No real idea of values either!
do they give it a bit of a frosting/roughing up with a scraper after a grind? Read that grinding is too good a surface with no reservoirs for oil to sit in and lubricate, too much metal contact.your getting close there.
have a BP here that will need straightening up at some point, shes not bad, but there is low spots.
rang slideway services last year and to send table, saddle and knee to them and grind her back with new gib's was round the £800 mark, for all they do i thought it good enough value in the grand scheme of things.
scraping is a black art and i dont have the time to be at it, if i did she'd lie on the floor for far too long i fear.
i cant honestly give you an answer to that, i was watching someone on the tube, robrenz i think it might have been, suffice as to say there is even some science to the shape of that wavy track too, needs a little curve in it so as to let the oil move out and not act like a scraper and keep it there.do they give it a bit of a frosting/roughing up with a scraper after a grind?
