Like the person who brought cone drives you can't read what Jim posted!

He posted:
"If I really wanted a *true* variable speed lathe, I would purchase
a cone pulley machine and fit it with a three phase motor and a VFD."

Tom

Yes and? It still remains that cone drives are NOT cone pullys.

Your point was?

Gunner

You're got the comprehension skills of the person who introduced
cone drives to the thread, bugger all.

Tom

I ask again..your point was?

Gunner

You made a statement:
"It still remains that cone drives are NOT cone pullys."

Yes. Its quite true.

Prove it in the context of the post in which cone pulley
lathes were first mentioned.

Why?

Tom

Ever gutless, making statements you can't sustain...

There you go again! Ever heard of context? Perhaps it's your medications
but you have difficulty with context! Similarly, Leigh, who
incidentally
has has never explained his non sequitur posting, which derailed this
thread
with his post of:

If I really wanted a *true* variable speed lathe, I would purchase
a cone pulley machine and fit it with a three phase motor and a VFD.

"I can't name a single cone drive lathe ever made. I know there were
cone drives made about 100 years ago but hardly think that is what you
are suggesting. By any chance are you refering to Reeves drives with
variable width pulleys?" Leigh at MarMachine

You, in your usual fantasy world decided that, you would apply your
limited knowledge of lathes and post an out of context response to
my post vis á vis South Bend lathes not being cone drive lathes.

In justification of your claim you copy & paste a sreed about
"cone drives", nothing that pertains to lathes..
I would imagine that if anyone mentioned small blocks, you'd jump
right in and rabbit on about Chevs rather than Lego?

As regards lathes and "cone" drives, many manufacturers, with the
advent of geared head lathes, began to use the term to differeniate
between cone pulley drive lathes and geared head. The contraction from
cone pulley drive lathes was contracted down to cone lathes or cone head
lathes very early on. South Bend in their early literature refer to the
"cone spindle".,. surely implying driven by cone, how else?
Lodge & Shipley referred to "cone head" as against "selective head for
their geared head models. Again driven by the cone.

Perhaps you may have been better occupied asking Leigh
)
just what he was actually referring to, before making an unqualified
post.
Still, that would bring thought processes into play, something alien to
your persona, these days..
