FWIW -- my complete model number is 11-011.

Don,
I have the same TPG as yours. Same model number anyway. Mine is in a Dark
Grey box with just the top opening lid..no drop front.
Instead of the hammertone blue box which I have. I don't know
whether that makes yours or mine older. :-)
I have the collett
adapter and the manual that came with it if you need any info from that I
would be happy to scan/measure or whatever.
Both would be lovely to have. I presume that the collet adaptor
screws over the arbor for the plain wheels? I was just about to try
making one from scratch -- after dealing with the income tax torture,
which we just started. :-)
The major problem is that I can't receive e-mails larger than
30K -- as a means of keeping viruses out of some mailing lists which I
run.
An FTP site, or a web site would help. Perhaps you could
upload them to the dropbox (
http://www.metalworking.com), and I could
pick them up from there? That would allow others to benefit from them
as well.
If you would prefer to not do that -- could you burn a CD-ROM of
the scans and snail-mail it? (There should be plenty of room on a
CD-ROM for everything needed and then some -- even if you scan for
output to a 600 DPI printer. :-) The manual for my Clausing lathe,
scanned to TIF for such a printer, converted to PostScript, and from
there to PDF results in a total file size of 6,964,511 -- about 1/100th
of a CD-ROM. :-)
FWIW the Lubrication instructions say to use 25 to 50 drops of Dumore No 0
High speed oil every 10 hours of operation. The oil is added to the Gits
snap cap oiler located in front of the tool post. The 2 screws on the ends
of the spindle housing are for the oil wicks and they do have a thread
wraped around the felt to ride on the spindle tapers. Inside is a felt
cylinder that is called the oil retainer.
O.K. "No. 0 High speed oil" sounds like a very thin spindle oil
to me, so what I got for my surface grinder would be about right.
The collett adapter is a threaded sleeve type thing that has the collett
chuck on one end and is threaded internally to screw onto the spindle.
Looks a lot like somebody cut the end off a dremel only a bit larger OD on
the shaft. It is counter bored so it threads up to the sholder on the
spindle.
That sounds like what I was planning to make. What is the
overall length to the end of the collet? (This will give me a target to
shoot for.)
If any more info would help let me know. I think the only thing mine
dosen't have is the scatter guard for the OD wheels. The parts list dosen't
show one but some of the ictures do.
Since I don't have the manual, I don't have the parts list
either. But I saw guards in some of the photos on the DuMore web site
when I tried to find information and really did not feel like spinning
up a larger wheel without one, so I made one to fit. (Turned from some
3-1/2" diameter aluminum. You probably visited the quick-and-dirty web
page and saw one shot of it, at least. If you want, I can send the
dimensions which I worked to as a drawing.
BTW -- My e-mail address is valid, if you want to take this
off line -- though we've got at least one other in the thread
who can benefit from what you know as well.
Thanks,
DoN.
