Gallery of Restorations

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Thought I would put this on the Gallery. Modified to fit my needs for turning bowls and keeping the air as clean as possible. Last pic is before dust collection was added.
Added 1 carriage for table storage and 1 to be able to move tailstock within the dust shroud.
Not for everybody but works very well for my needs.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
The restoration is fantastic! What is the dust deflector/collector made of?

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Mike,
Looks good. After you have used it awhile, let us know how your dust collector shroud for it works out, or if you would change anything for a 2nd revision. Looks really good though IMHO.![Smile :)](./images/smilies/smile.gif)

Re: Gallery of Restorations
RF Guy- turned a couple bowls and so far works well. The shroud holds a lot so what’s not sucked up is easily sucked up with loose 4” hose as I move along. The finer dust is well taken care of and that was my biggest concern. I make changes all the time, on everything it seems like. If I change for the better….will post modification:-)

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Oh yea, that’s a beauty! The polished mechanicals remind me of some of Skip’s restorations. The butcher-block bench is also a nice touch, and I especially like the matching lower shelf suspended from threaded rods.
Re: Gallery of Restorations
My 1956 greenie very nearly done. I wanted to set this up as a dedicated lathe, and use my 520 for everything else. I made a few upgrades:
1 1/8hp motor
poly V belt
2 bearing quill
510 carriage
I wanted the 510 carriage so that I can install ShopSmith's Universal Tool Rest. I haven't gotten that yet.
I did get a Nova ProTek chuck. Then I used it to make a wooden handle to allow me to hand turn the shaft as needed. I figure if the hub acts as a heat sink, a face plate will be a better heat sink.
I'm temporarily borrowing the 520 tool rest from the other machine until I spring for the new tool rest. That package will be a tad pricey and my have to wait until after the holidays.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Nice job! This is by far my favorite color scheme. If I ever repaint my 520....

Re: Gallery of Restorations
Looks great! Did you choose the SS touch up paint? If not, what is it? The detail work on the speed control is excellent.

Re: Gallery of Restorations
I used the paint from ShopSmith. For the speed control I used a polishing compound and a Dremmel tool. This machine did not come with a tailstock (or a 510 carriage for that matter.)
I found both on eBay rather easily. Grey to green was pretty simple. When I get my Universal Tool Rest, it will also go green.
I have an idea for a butcher board style pedestal that will raise the whole machine up to a better wood turning height while adding weight and stability. I would clamp the feet to the pedestal somehow and have retractable casters so it could be moved if needed, but sit directly on the floor when in use. I also plan to use the accessory stand on my 520 as a template to make one that will be designed to hold wood turning specific items such as the chuck, chisels, etc.
