M33 adapter
Good evening. I inherited three very good lathe chucks from my FIL. Only problem is that they have M33, 3.5 threading. I have a 1"8tpi adapter for the spindle and got a 1"8tpi to M33 but the threading is a bit short and does not reach very far into the chucks, which worries me. Does anyone...

Re: Mark V Pinion broke...
My 'thinking' was that the table tubes would prevent the assembly 'moving in'. Had not thought of the lathe rest. A second 'post' in the rear would suffice there. Yes no tubes allows 'moving in'.

Re: Mark V Pinion broke...
Looks to me like the ring/washer had a chamfer to match that of the pinion body and that connection is what failed. Def looks like they are two pieces when looking at the unbroken one.

Re: Mark V Pinion broke...
Thank you. Are the pinions steel or aluminum? Can they be welded?

Re: Mark V Pinion broke...
There is an original full carriage assembly for the Mark V on Ebay but there is also this...
...which says it is also for the Mark V.

But the shopsmith.com parts seems to indicate that Shopsmith 500 Carriage Pinon 501392 is not available. Does a...

Re: New to me Mark V
I got the electric sorted out and remounted the head unit on the rails. As the old switch was still working fine, I re-used that. I found that the speed dial that tells you what speed it is at was not spinning when using the speed control so I took that off and found that the gear in the speed contr...
