Hi Editor et al

Have just tried to post a reply to a post by Bog Standard on Pultra lathes. Each time I enter the post, I get an error message of “You need to enter a thread I.D ” or some such gobbledegook. Any thoughts, clues, anybody???

Bogs – If this works, my reply on the other thread was as follows.:-

 

Bogs,
Have had a couple of Pultras –  (still have one plus a spare bed) both 1750s but the drive setup is similar for both sizes. The ‘Full Monty’ on a stand mounted job was a Mardrive unit complete with clutch and pedal operation etc. When I bought my first example, I wrote to Smart and Brown to ask for advice and availability of spares. Very helpful people and they sent a copy of their catalogue of spares. If that would be of help, I can copy it for you. As far as drive arrangements go, failing the Mardrive unit, I would suggest my remedy which was the Sherline DC motor and controller. Gives the right sort of speed range and excellent control.
Rgds
