Now this is different. If I lived close enough I would have to go take a look.

Some where in collecting SS photos, I ran across pics of that machine on line. Since I have an old tailstock and want to do the same conversion, I copied the closeups:

$690 is a very good price for that - ultra solid tailstock(adjustable) heavy duty tool rest and a speed reducer. I assume the headstock is reasonably functional - if not think what this could do having a pp headstock!
My only concern would be the rigidity of the tubes. Methinks they may be modified as well! - If not, they can be!
Let's see . . .Birmingham . . . isn't that on I 65!:D

If you go to all that trouble to beef up the tailstock and tool rest, rigidity must be important to you. The tubes are not noted for their rigidity. Actually the lack of rigidity is a common complaint from 'heavy turners'. Some have been known to fill the tubes with sand or lead, even concrete!damagi wrote:Why would this be a concern?
This 'problem' has increased over time as the tube wall thickness has been reduced. The original 10E had tubes with 1/4" thick walls. More recent Mark V's are 1/8" thick.

Thanks for posting the closeups, Peter. That's pretty ingenious. I especially like the idea of cutting down two tie bars to slip over the way tubes instead of using another carriage or 2x6s to fit. He's a better tinkerer than welder but it certainly won't fall apart any time soon! I'm going to have to remember that sled idea.
