Thread: New Stubby

I'll try to remember to go and ask them for details tomorrow for you, if I haven't replied here by say 1pm, send me a PM to remind me

Ta DJ,

Pretty keen, but didn't know they had anything new until I left.

Thanks Guys

appreciate the help

If anyone out there's got a moment ...

I'd be keen to know whether it's a 2 piece banjo like the biggies (looks like it in the pics), what the toolpost diam and length are, how far out the banjo reaches, and what the swing is.

Calm and GJ have all the details and it looks like Calm might have finally decided on a lathe, he is quite wrapped with this one.

Thanks DJ for the prompt reply.

Tell Calm to offer Rob C. 10% off list price and see what response he gets.

Sounds like 10" swing and detents only at 0 and 90 degrees ... ffs.

Spent a bit of time with it - the one at the show is the first one and was only finished on Thursday (his words not mine) guarantees the electrics has been fixed (wont stall the motor as in the older models.

Has the same motor (available with 1 1/2 or 2 hp) , has the same pulleys & belts, has the same shaft as the other Stubby's but the bearings are tapered rollers (will need adjusting after they run for about 20 - 50 hours. (some use) - have seals ion the outside and will require some maintenance 9 lubrication that the other stubbies dont.

The banjo is the same as the bigger machines, the post for the tool rest is higher and not finalised yet as it needs cutting down. Same toolrest as others.

Bed is cut to ordered length.

The headstock swivels and after conversation will be drilled at 22.5 deg intervals - to swivel headstock - remove 4 allen keys completely move headstock & refit. Will not be a cam lock system. it was originally 0 & 90 degree option. Still in conversation regarding toolrests for outboard/swivelled turning - the extra bolt on peice is included.

Bench/base available for about $400, 2nd tool rest available for about $200 (maybe $250) price of machine negotiable.

I have made an agreement to come down to the factory after he has a "final" machine built for a look/see.

So no commitment but very impressed as DJ said

Hope that helps others.

Cheers


PS i dont care if some of the forum members (and administrators/moderators) dont like them, i think it's very nice.

PPS My thought line is - would i buy a new stubby this one or a 2nd hand VL300 for the same price.

Thanks DJ, thats exactly what I wanted.

Really appreciate the effort

I suppose give me more homework to do!
