This is not my lathe. I wish it could become mine! I would need to build another building just for this monster. If anyone could handle a South Bend Lathe with a 12 foot bed, here you go. South Bend Metal Lathe - $1850 (Centre, Al) 220 volt single phase, 12 foot bed with auto feed. Some...

I want to build a steam vacuum engine that would operate similar to a flame eater. Instead of sucking in a flame it would suck in steam vapour. The steam vapour would condense in the cylinder creating a vacuum. There would be no pressure in the boiler, just a rich steam vapour at atmospheric...

http://gadsden.craigslist.org/tld/2986816656.html It's just too big for my shop. It's a Clausing 6900 series lathe. The hydraulic speed control on these lathes give people fits that don't understand how they operate. I bet it's seen very little use over the years. Someone could practically...

It's inexpensive to build too! We all need a precision oiler for our little engines and some of our machines. My cat broke the one I made several years ago. I thought I would show how I built the replacement. Parts List: Flavour Injector found in the kitchen gadgets section of any big box...

After years of putting it off I've started building a taper attachment for my 12"X36" import lathe. I'm using this one as a guide. http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=7086.0 I had a peace of 3/8" X 3" X 18.250" hot rolled plate steel I found in the scrap pile that I cut in...

My lathe motor quit. I'm not going to complain too much about it because it's 24 yrs old. The motor is a Chinese 1 1/2 HP, Capacitor start, single phase induction type. I pulled out the motor and removed the end cover over the centrifugal switch and found it had burned out. The exact replacement...

I purchased my 12X36 import lathe new way back in 1988. I purchased it because it had English and Metric dials and change gears for cutting metric threads. Today is the first time I have ever used it for turning and threading metric parts. I made a new BXA T-bolt and and T-nut for an Atlas 12"...

For a couple of weeks now I've been building accessories for my 12 X 36 Import Lathe. Today I finished another one. It's a stop for my cross slide. This allows quickly returning to zero on the cross slide dial when threading and it can be used in a production run of many parts where several...

I built a new carriage stop for my lathe. It's made of 3/4" key stock with another peace of 1/2 X 3/4 cold roll that serves to clamp it in place. I made it 3" long because the peace of key stock I found just happened to be just slightly longer than that. Facing the ends clean took it down to 3"...

One Saturday morning a stopped by a yard sale and found a rusty old 1" socket for sell. It was in a box where everything in the box was 50 cents. I thought it would be perfect for my Quick Change Tool Post. I got it home and took it out to the lathe and it fit the nut on my tool post perfectly...

This is not a model engine stator (unless you ride a Harley) that went bad on me after 13,000 miles. All the information I need for rewinding it is noted because this project may take a while to complete. I ordered a new Stator from the manufacturer through the dealer I purchased it from...

I ordered a Harbor Freight 10"-15" Swing Quick Change Toolpost on sale with a 20% discount too. I need to know what size thread is used in the T-nut. I have a couple of blank T-nuts I made a few years back that I never used so I thought I would go ahead and have a T-nut ready for it when it...

I was threading a brass rod when all of a sudden my Lathe seized up. One of the belts started squealing and the chuck quit turning. I hit the emergency stop button and and ran for the circuit breaker and opened it too. I'm thinking to myself, HTF can a belt drive Lathe head with Timken taper...

I traded about an hour of shop time for a new in the box PM Research Inc. 5BI casting kit. The guy I got it from told me he ordered it in March of 1990. He told me he attempted to build a smaller steam engine kit and scraped the cylinder. That put him off doing this kit and put it away...
