I need some lathe measurements
All:
I need some measurements from various lathes -- if you could report: Make and model of your lathe Spindle size and thread pitch (i.e. 1 1/4 x 8) Dimensions 1 and 2 from the photo -- http://stubbylatheusa.com/images/spindle_question.jpg it would be most helpful. The photo is of a much used Stubby so I have that information. Thanks in advance to those responding. Bill |

I need some lathe measurements
I've had several replies and thank the folks. But, I guess that I
didn't make myself clear -- What I need most are the dimensions which don't show up in any lists of machines and spindles -- the two which I've marked in the photo: http://www.stubbylatheusa.com/images...e_question.jpg.

Walt's #3 makes sense as a way to deal with the rebate for locking screws.

Something which I think the market needs. Stubby owners (or non-owners
too) who are members of the Stubby Users' Group can probably guess but I'd rather not say for now. Bill M.J. wrote: "Bill Rubenstein" wrote in message . com...

I need some lathe measurements
I understand your position -- but...
If I say what I'm developing, then some other manufacturer has a head start and I suddenly have competition to deal with. There are a number of manufacturers who have no interest in fair play -- for instance... Jet has just introduced a slow speed grinder which looks a lot like the Tormec. Jet has a live center which looks a whole lot like the Oneway. Jet isn't the only one but they certainly may be the champions in this area. So, I'd rather not have the information from your lathe than give away what I'm working on. Does that make sense to you? Bill M.J. wrote: Ya I'm like that too sometimes.

I need some lathe measurements (an OT response)
Hi Bill, You are much respected here as a valued contributor and as an
ethical and sucessful businessman. Your request is perfectly reasonable, but to keep your invention secret why would you ask the questions on a widespread ng? The internet being what it is, I doubt that you will rely on the answers anyway (no slam at respondents intended). I know you don't need a vanity product so it is likely of enough potential to meet the profit plans of larger manufacturers. If not it would seem to be another hunting license for quick copying by mom & pops. I suppose the secrecy could be a legitimate way to generate interest, but it is obvious that I know very little re this facet of our craft. Bill, many of us have ideas for a product related to woodturning with high hopes for a sucessful whizbang, but most of us are naive and lack your proven expertise. Without revealing your product and time allowing, would you consider offering some guidance (or a musing 'G') re the rewards, pitfalls and necessaries of attempting to develop and/or market an innovative woodturning product? Others _with experience_ might want to chip in unless derision masked by comedy drives them away. Turn to Safety, Arch Fortiter http://community.webtv.net/almcc/MacsMusings |

I need some lathe measurements
Hello Bill,
I intended to respond to your post when you first made it, but didn't have time and then forgot. For what it is worth, here are the dimensions for my lathes: Nova DVR 3000, 1-1/4" x 8 tpi spindle. Dim. 1= 1-3/16". Dim. 2= 0.15" Nova Mercury, 1" x 8 tpi spindle. Dim. 1= 15/16". Dim. 2 = 1/4" Oneway 1018, 1" x 8 tpi spindle. Dim. 1= 1-1/4". Dim. 2 = 1/8" Hope this helps.

Thanks. So the total spindle length from the place where a faceplate
would snug up to to the end of the threads is 1.454 + .286? I hadn't thought about the setscrew stuff.

Jet JML-1014 Mini Lathe 1 X 8 Dim #1 - 0.998 Dim #2 - 0.183 Bill, be aware that there is not shoulder (or step) on the shaft. The two measurements I gave are the total shaft length, and the length of the unthreaded portion. |

Thanks. Can somebody get me the measurements on the 16" Jet? I believe that the spindle is quite long on that machine.
