Thanks Harry

You crack me up

" before going into a standard lathe " LOL LOL hahahahaha

The Blue one can take on 42" long stock, the black one can take on a 38" long timber ,, a standard lathe can do the same almost and can take on a 42" timber but it's 1500,oo dollars unlike the two I have that only cost 250.oo bucks for both

they can't turn big bows but I'm not into making bows any more ,plus they don't take up a big foot print on the shop floor...going on the shop wall when I'm done with them.. LOL

Now if I recall my indexing math I will be set... 24 hole plate no big deal but I got lost on the 36 hole indexing plate...

I see that you purchased two router lathes, one blue and one black.

I'm don't understand what you mean Bj, a 24 hole indexing plate will give increments of 15* and a 36 hole one increments of 10*

Thanks Harry

I got that but lets say I want 4 on the 36 pin index plate, it would be 1-9-18-27 but what would it be for 7 or I can't get 7 on a 36 it must be 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,etc. just even numbers and would I start with 1 or 5 to get it to come out right...mind block thing for me ...

This post is for Greg and Ed

A big thank you Greg , I got the kit from Grizzly and took the live center out of it and used it on the new router lathe... work great.

I need to do just a bit more work on it, like paint it blue etc.and it will be set to run..

Thanks again..

Hi Ed

You'er Welcome

The neat thing about this live center is the way they made it, I would have never tough of it with out seeing one...
They took a Tapered Roller Bearing and pressed a standard center into the center of the bearing and then press the bearing into the 1/2" thick steel bar..neat way to do it..

"Tapered roller bearings can support large radial and large thrust loads.

Just some more KNOBS

Are you fed up with knobs like I am , this is the last ones for a bit..

I now have about 70 on hand that should hold me for a bit but I do like to make jigs and they all take knobs...(4ea. the norm )

This little bit of work will save me about 210.oo dollars in the cost of buying knobs.

Again I'm SORRY SB ( Steve ) for high jacking your thread ( Post)

hope it's OK with you ...
