Reconditioning a Relmac lathe

[Lee Roberts]

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!

Any joy with the Gamages lathe ? how did the regrind go ?

Should get the spindle back on Wednesday....

The Gamages started out well and went downhill.... :(
