Gorton J-22 Part Deux
Well I got the spindle Thingy...an adapter out ..its a Brown & Sharp #9
to Gorton Spring Collet adapter. After spritizing a load of penetrating fluid into the top of the spindle a coupl days ago, today I took a draw bar from my working Gorton and screwed it into the top of the #9 adapter and tapped it a few times and it came out. Now Ive got to figure out why the quill wont drop. It kinda sorta moves....before I removed the #9 adapter, I was able to beat it down about 3/4" with a big hammer (and a block of wood) and was able to drive it back up again..but it didnt want to move very far. So its time to strip the head down, and see whats going on. I suspect that the quill drive gear is either bad, or has sheared its pin on the lever assembly. I was kinda hoping it was B&S #10....there is a guy on ebay selling #10 to R8 adapters for $90...sigh..and getting a #9 ground to R8 costs $250 plus shipping from Wells-Index. Shrug...but Ive got a full set+ of R8 kicking around in secure storage..so Looks like Im gonna have to bite the bullet and have it ground to R8. Im not a big fan of B&S #9..though it does work and Ive got a few pieces of tooling. I wish I could find a carcase with NMTP 40 spindle in it....sigh Gunner I am the Sword of my Family and the Shield of my Nation. If sent, I will crush everything you have built, burn everything you love, and kill every one of you. (Hebrew quote) |

I really like the NMTP40 it is the correct size for what I do and tooling is readily available. My current vertical is R8 and it
works well, but it could be stiffer. Steve "Gunner Asch" wrote in message ... Well I got the spindle Thingy...an adapter out ..its a Brown & Sharp #9 to Gorton Spring Collet adapter.

Hmm ... how different would it be having it ground to NMTB 30? The taper is the same, it just stops larger on the R8. (And do you have any NTMB 30 taper tooling? Im not a big fan of B&S #9..though it does work and Ive got a few pieces of tooling. That's more than I have for that taper. I wish I could find a carcase with NMTP 40 spindle in it....sigh Understood.
