Here’s the lathe picture, don’t have any better ones Wheels on there are rubber I’ll look into the steady rest idea. Thanks guys

Thanks guys, I’ll give it a shot. I just checked out Vintagemachinery.org , they have limited information.

Hey Guys. I can’t figure out what this thing is. It was lumped together with a metal lathe I won at auction. I’ll add dimensions when I get a chance, but for perspective, the hole around 3” Thanks, ~Mike

Hello I currently have a Clipper no. 9 belt splicer, missing the splicing jaws. Wondering if anyone has a parts breakdown on this machine or any idea if there is any part availability. Maybe retro fit the Clipper vise model. Thanks, ~Mike

Thanks willyboy

Thanks John. I’ll look into those options. Appreciate the advice

Thanks for that information Ronin! I can totally understand, I’ve been a carpenter for 40 years and have a lot of respect for tools and machinery. Good advice, I will definitely educate myself on safety precautions when using the lathe.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do not have the piece that broke off, there are a couple counter shaft assemblies on eBay like mine but are between 250-300 bucks. The alternate style are listed for $45 this is a pic of that one:

Hello I recently picked up a Logan model 200 from an auction. I disassembled it for transportation and noticed a couple issues. First was a little damage on the bed ways, some nicks on the Vways and a little rough edges on the flat areas. Second, the countershaft(LA-353)has a broken section...

You guys were on point! For cylindrical grinding with a surface grinder. I appreciate the information. Someone posted this on another forum. They were familiar with this tool. Now I can start looking for parts to put it together. ~Mike

I need help identifying a piece of motorized equipment/machinery. I picked it up at a house sale for a few dollars, looked interesting. Just would like to know exactly what is. Thanks

Actually I have one 5 minutes from my house, maybe I’ll check Thanks

That’s a good idea! I’ll give that a try, I have an old Porter Cable router I cannibalize from time to time, I’ll try using those Thanks Cobbler
