Going from memory Picture 1/2 the two speed switch should be for the two feed speeds for the thicknesser feed. you need to check that the motor has not been replaced for a single speed at some point and that is why the switch has been bypassed, or it might be that someone has burned out one of...

I would strongly recommend using skates to move this. If you take off the two side covers you will see that is sits on three pads on the bottom of the main side castings Two on the inboard side 1 on the out board side, this means there is no flat surface for the rollers to run on. The middle...

It is deigned to be complexly free standing on three tubular steel legs, the cone and the wing nut are for securing the legs. I only saw this demonstrated once, back in the late 90's and the guy doing the demo had a sand bag hung off it for extra ballast as he said it had a bit of a tenancy to...

The RS6 geometry does pose some interesting design challenges, give that there is only 70mm to work with between the top of the tool rest holder and the centre of the work piece, and the blind hole in the tool rest holder only gives you about 35mm of actual post height adjustment. Something for...

Thanks for your responses I have one of the Sorby posts for the box scraper rest but they have been out of stock for months, the thread on the top really doesn't look strong enough for what i have in mind, and it is only one of the components required, The guy i bought my lathe off had a...

Hi, I don't seem to be able to find anything amongst the current crop of modular tool rest systems to fit my Wadkin RS. Has anyone else found anything else recently or is the only option to fabricate your own? Can anyone recommend any really good designs before i start working from scratch...
