Hey I got to work a bit on the little lathe.
Took it apart and cleaned up the rust.
Then rattle canned it .
Heres a few parts that were done a while ago, cleaned, painted and reassembled.
the carriage was also dissasembled, repaired the handles shaft that were broken.
I found 1 gear that was broken, can find it on fleabay for 125 $ I think they are gougin but I'll see, the price I paid for the lathe, I might bite the bullet and buy the friggin thing LOL
In this pic, on the left you can see the little gear missing a couples of teeths.
Heres the head stock dissasembled, cleaned and painted.
I didnt take off the tape because I still have to paint the underside of the unit.
The backgears unit was frozen in rust and was not working soo fixed that and now they are working perfectly.
Of course, I tested it before paint.
Last thing to clean up is the bed.
I'll use fine sandpaper and oil for the top of the bed to make it nice and shiny,
Theres a few nicks on the top but nothing major, after that, paint the rest.
Whats left is to paint a few parts, covers, gearbox etc. then reassembly.
That is next.....
