I´ve done a bit more research. I can find some 3 and 4 jaw chucks on the internet but due to their exotic size prices are pretty steep :| On the other hand I havn´t been able to find a single collet chuck fitting the spindle nose. Looks like I really have to make a new backplate. Would anyone now wh...

I´d like to fit a 100mm 4 jaw chuck and a collet chuck onto my 270. Currently I´m working with the standard 80mm 3 jaw chuck but it´s too small. Problem is that I need a new back plate and the chucks of course. So far I´ve had a look into it but can´t really work out what sort of spindle nose I have...

Hi there, I´m quite new to this software and I´m having problems with running cycles: Windows 8.1 1.22.2.452 It simply stops during the program.

Was unfortunate but it had to be done :( For the move I had to take off some wires as well. I got her back together, the only thing is t...

Unfortunatelly I have to take it apart as there is no way to shift it in one piece.
The only thing I´m now wondering really is what the grub screw is for.

All right, I´ve striped her partially. I´m now at the point that I´ll have to take off some more heavy casted parts. The thing is that I´m thinking that the whole lathe could come off in one piece, if I take off the machine bed that is attatched to the two collums welded to the grey tray. I found tw...

Hi there, I scored a 270. The only problem is that it has to go throuth a really narrow door and I don´t have the 4 men needed to do the lifting. The idea was now to take it apart that two blokes can handle it. The white bit of the cabinet has to come off to fit it throuth the door. Apart from that ...
