    Bryan, The lever lowers the idler pulleys between motor and gearbox to change either of the two belts.

    UEE, I would be very interested in seeing if it is in the old catalogue, and equally interested in trying to get hold of the parts breakdown.

    TOOLMAN    , Yes, the 4 jaw chuck is bl00*y heavy - it measures 200mm diameter and is almost 100 deep. The manual I received is generic in that it covers two sizes, namely 23" and 36" between centres, with the model number hand written on the cover under model No.

    I will do some searching under the other names mentioned and see what I come up with. I checked the crossfeed with a dial indicator and 5 thou on the dial gives 5 thou movement. The cross feed has both imp. and metric markings, with metric elsewhere.

    Your replies are much appreciated -thanks

    Here you go. This for the "typical" lantaine like what Andre (welder) has got, but I think it should be mostly the same. I'm a bit disappointed actually, I found it rather easily, I was hoping to waste a good part of the morning looking for it!

    As for the lever on the front, if it slackens the belts, what does the lever on the rhs of the belt guards do?

    Sorry, the lever on the RHS of the guard is for belt changing. The bottom lever onthe front is for threading vs normal carriage feed.

    The top lever on the front is this: Changes carriage feed direction

    G'Day ,
    On my Honden the imperial scaling is dead accurate, its the metric graduations that are wrong, since I mainly work in metric these days it seemed like a good excuse to fit a DRO.
    Regards,

    Toolman I have the same metric/imperial issue they seem to be an imperial lathe with metric dials. Thanks for the manual Ueee they migh solve my issue with figuring out how to cut metric threads I only got one 30 tooth gear with my lathe and have no idea where it goes.

    Mine came with two smaller 40 tooth gears fitted to work with the larger 120/127 tooth gear for all imperial and some metric threading, as well as two extra smaller gears, 30, and 32 tooth for metric thread pitches that the others couldn't do.
    Hope this makes sense

    G'Day Welder,
    As you can see from the photo my dials are direct reading (reduce diameter) the problem is that when you advance 10 divisions (10 x .02 = .2 mm) the dial is marked 1, the bloody thing should have been marked 0 - 50, not 0 - 25, but with the DRO fitted this is now academic.
