Most of the US makers offered this lead screw reverse as an option. In use, threads can be cut at higher speed then the thread dial allows, and improved accuracy from the half nuts settling in. Great video.

Just watching the smoke from the cutting oil. I've avoided most, but inhaled some. I wonder how bad that smoke is for your health?

So need to let the carriage pull it's self back with the leadscrew when using the thread dial in conjunction with the leadscrew reverse, so long as you re-engage it on an appropriate line.

I'm learning on my dads Hendey 16 x 54 almost identical to yours. Nice to see you can reverse the travel without stopping the machine, didn't know that. His is real jerky and likes to kick of the traverse screw so I hold her down. I got the basics down but can't really figure out all the lever settings. It said 24 TPI hole 1. I put it in 1 and got 80 or something. Put it in 2 and got 24.. A video on the settings would be great Clem. Thanks, Martin.

fla playa Thanks for the comments. When I got the lathe the reversing lever didn't work at all. The rod below the lead screw that is actuated by the reversing lever needs to be clean so that there isn't any drag on it as it moves through the lever on the apron. There should be stops on the rod to set the lever to kick out where you want the feed to stop. So when the rod is pulled one way or the other it will kick the reversing lever into neutral. Make sure it's clean. Have you downloaded the operators manual from the Vintage Machinery.org website? There is a lot of good info on running a Hendey there. I'll see if I can get a video of the thread/feed selection for you soon. Craig

Some Monarchs and LeBlonds, a few American Pacemakers and DSGs, all Hardinge HLVs, Lodge and Shipley & Pratt & Whitney toolroom, Reed Prentice, Holbrook, Sidney, Rivett, CVA, had them. It relies on a single-tooth dog clutch which engages only one for each turn of the spindle. Generally there are separate forward and reverse clutches, as with the Hendey (I have an idea they invented the device)

Lawrence, thanks for stopping by. I have watched your videos as well as Jeff Sigrist's on casting the pulley wheel for your Hendey. I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to know my my gearhead Hendey and am excited to have kept the tiebar from the scrappers. My plan is to make a set of change gears for the tiebar and set it up for metric threading. I just got the specifications on the gears from Hendeyman. When things get under control at the day job I'll get to work on the gears. Craig

+Lawrence Harasim it is the sharing of information that is the important thing. We can all learn from each other. When I bought my gearhead Hendey 10 years ago, information was tough to find and mostly limited to the Practical Machinist forums. It's amazing what is available now. The problem with the tiebars is after Patrick Black's restoration the bar is now way too high. Craig

+voluntown according to Hendey's records, it was built the third week of October, 1943. The quick change gearbox and reversing lead screw were used on Hendeys from at least the early 1900s (my 12x5 tiebar was built in 1910 and had them). Thanks for watching and commenting. Craig

+Atrixium I'm restoring a 1910 12x5 cone head right now. Apparently the patent for the Norton quick change gearbox was applied for in 1893 and granted in 1894. Here is a link to the patent www.datamp.org/patents/displayPatent.php?id=29746 . The drawing of the gearbox looks just like those on both my 1910 and 1943 Hendey's. Hopefully the conehead will be up and running this spring, I'm setting it up for metric threading. Thanks for stopping by. Craig
