Awl--
I have a 13x40 Enco, but set up really nice--x,yDRO, snap handle 5C, Aloris, cam-lock chucks, new bearings, really kept nice by the original owner. You'd almost think it was American-made. In fact, the owner did so much work on it, he taped "Made in America" over the "made in china" tag! ![]() Also, the bed is closer to 50", past the nose! However, I don't see the traditional lockdown screws on the carriage or cross-slide. Am I just missing something? Is it possible that some lathes simply don't have these? If this is so, what do one do? For the carriage, I could see clamping blocks on either side of the carriage, down on the ways. Improvising a lockdown on the crossslide seems more elusive. Any idears?? -- Mr. P.V.'d formerly Droll Troll |
