Repairing Atlas 10" lathe

[Ross77]

thanks John, concise as ever, so should i upgrade to babbit bearing then?????

Sorry im not very good at explaining things. I meant the adjustment cage you talked about that mounts on the apron and drives the rack but it is rubing on the side of the main bed below the rack.(see pic)



So when I adust the gibbs on the saddle it pulls the saddle over even more.hope that helps.

heres some pics of the lathe as it stands, not pretty but hopfully functional
