Hi,
disassembled the lathe completely now, drop off the slides, tail stock shoe and bed to be ground . looking forward to be able to move the carriage the full length of the bed. My lather is a super 7 long bed.
question; having trouble getting the back gear cluster off. Sadly the 17T gear is missing a tooth.. it only has 16 one is cleanly snapped off. previous owner or the one before him.. Any hints of loosening the screw. I guess the fact i discovered a tooth missing means i can heat it up.
the rest of the lath is in excellent condition; not liking the water based degreaser as it leaves surface rust if i miss wiping a piece down.
