G'day Cliff ... good job on the lathe. Quick tip: The best way to set your tail stock ... after roughing the center in with your point-to-point method, chuck a piece of stock 7" or 8" long between your centers using a dog to drive it and take a cut for the entire length. Measure each end and you'll find that it's tapered. Adjust the lateral slide on the tail stock until the workpiece is properly parallel.

Congratulations Cliff, the finishing of the Armco is a big milestone in the rebuilding of the shed after the disastrous fire. Well done mate!

Thanks Cliff for showing the operation of the clutch, I expected it to make some sort of clacking noise. Very nice job, I recon an EMCO is worth the effort

Great videos Cliff. It’s really looking good, just like new. I love the clutch to stop the saddle crashing, very jealous as I’ve had many a close call.

Hi Cliff, That is a first class restoration job you did on your Emco, well done, I wish mine was half as good as yours, something I noticed, when you switch off the machine it comes to a sudden stop, I assume that is your VFD causing the brake action, on one of the forums there were some guys complaining that this damaged the splines in the composite gears where they press onto the shafts, due to this sudden stop, the splines are not made to handle this kind of inertia from the heavy spinning chuck, maybe worth looking at your VFD programming to a "soft stop"

By Ek Cliff. Your lathe looks like the dogs doodars. Brand new nearly. Hope it's given you a lift to get back to normality, so to speak. I like your DRO set up on the rear or the lathe, looking at doing mine that way. Great work. I've enjoyed watching. Cheers Tony

Enjoy watching your videos, May be i missed something but before you lined up your tailstock, did you use a spirit level on the ways first?

Not sure if I missed it or not…but did you show the electrical upgrades. I’m doing mine at the moment but going one step further and changing all the on lathe controls to 24v dc.. I’m particularly interested in how your tachometer is set up.

I don’t like some of the sounds coming out of it. You’ve got a repetitive noise at at least some of the settings, though I think it’s from all of them but at the higher speeds it’s also faster. I can’t describe it so I’ll call it a dum, dum, dum. I don’t remember if you always had that, but I’d like to know what it’s being caused by. Rotating machines shouldn’t have a sound that’s like a reciprocating mechanism.

@@melgross you have a good ear Sir! It's always done it, it comes from the motor, I thought changing the bearings would do it but no! I think maybe the drive "sprocket" is not white concentric, it's off of the original motor? ATB, Cliff
