If the lathe is M18 and the chuck is M12 it would need the chuck boring out and re-threading or you would get too much overhang.

Sorry for taking a while to get back to you, You ask: "How difficult was that to do? I've been toying with the idea of building a machine, but the parts would be lower spec than an industrial machine and would cost far more than an old machine." Not hard to do replacing linear rails and...

Any kind of thinners, WD40 or brake cleaner will not be good for the rubber tyres, I have always used an offcut of brass sheet to rub on the blade whist it is going and it cleans it off a treat, also shut the electric's off and turn the wheels backwards whilst holding the brass on the rubber...

This is what I love to see great work keep it up you are an inspiration so stick at it.

type in (tattoo vectors) or whatever patterns you need and you will find a lot interesting work.

I agree it felt wrong and I was thinking what if your hand slipped the t'other end would dig in your arm, but it fit. Unless someone comes up with a better idea!!!

I tried it on a handsaw screw and it fits but feels strange to hold with a small bar in the hole, a friend just sent me this image so this is what it could be for see top Left corner.

Well it don't fit in a brace very well so think that's out, see your point on the hole for a small bar but it still has square edges all over so either never been used or very little.

I will try it thank you Phill

It is 6" long each end is 3/8"wide and does not go to a chisel edge, square ends, slot is 1/8" x 1/4"

Anyone know what this could be for (named John Wilson with a broad arrow and No11 Phill

I use Garryflex Abrasive Rubber Blocks Grit 36/60/120/240 grit on flat work. and Eveflex Pendant Drill Rubber Abrasive Burrs on a 2.34mm shank for detailed work use with a little WD40 to get a great finish.

Cowboy, All I would add to this is don't be afraid of trying different ways to others, you will learn more by your own good and bad results than anything you read or hear, enjoy yourself, can't wait to see what you make.

I picked up a 077A in the early 1960's and it has been my go to little friend all my working life, for those hard to get too places I could take the front plate off and had a chisel plane.

Interesting I have just found one in the bottom of a tool box but with a 6" rule needs a good clean.

That's why I said "contact them for more info", M18 is M18 that should not change must be the chuck itself that's different

Have a look half way down the page you will see below, contact them for more info.

The boss of a big company needed to call one of his employees after hours about an urgent problem with one of the main computers. He dialled the employee's home phone number and was greeted with a child's whispered, "Hello?" Feeling put out at the inconvenience of having to talk to a youngster...
