Reconditioning a Relmac lathe

[irving2008]

Here's me thinking everyone has lots of reamers and a working lathe ;) (mine was out of action for 2 days waiting on belts and I was beside myself) My previous one made the rivets for the Titanic.....I sure don't miss it :D Although I discovered that a LH thread requires modification to my 1992 Warco! Oh well it's all fun....Or savage amusement lol

Well when I get this one up and running a LH thread will be easy.... :) can do either, in imperial or metric....

The spindle is going in to be reground tomorrow AM early and I hope to get it back next week. They reckon it'll be 2h work inc setup as they'll need to make a MT3 arbour to hold the nose end and chamber the inside of the tail end to hold it on the grinder centres - they do all precision grinding between centres.

So this weekend I'll turn my attention to the Gamages lathe and get that set up on a board so I can try it out. At least the motor is running!
