None for sale and no connection to them, but I've read good reports of the ones from here

The Easiturn was based on the Viceroy 280 machines which had a D1-3 fitting. The D1-4 is significantly bigger! While what you say is probably correct for the majority of Easiturn machines, I think if you look through all the brochures posted above by admin. that it was offered with a D1-4 spindle. ...

Does any one know where I might get hold of a 32 tooth gear for connecting the chasing dial to the 8 turns per inch lead screw on the above lathe. Can't help directly, but as it is only to drive the screwcutting dial, it doesn't need to be a precision item. Broadly speaking, any nearly-circular pie...

...it now works but seems to be out of calibration. i.e when its running at a 1000 rpm it only reads 100 rpm. Can you give us a bit more info. and some pictures? Is the interrupter a direct replacement for the one you had? Does the logic work the same (i.e. light passing = high output; light blocke...

Does anybody know who the manufacturer was for the spindle pulley on the Easiturn lathe? I think the pullies and belt are standard poly-V configuration. Medway Power among others has lots of information: http://www.medwaypt.co.uk/poly_v_belts_pulleys.html The belt on mine is 340 J10 which is (now) ...

anybody know what pitch the belt is and the best place to get one? Did you by any chance look in any of the manuals that the site admin. has taken a considerable time to scan and post? You must have skipped pages 18 & 19 of this: http://www.denfordata.com/bb/download/file.php?id=2022 Perhaps the pa...

...When I can afford a round tuit I shall bin the digispeed and have some preset speeds and a common or garden potentiometer. I'm curious why you might consider this a more desirable option. Would you care to write a couple of lines on the reason for your choice? If you do wish to dispose of the di...

The Combivert inverter that was fitted as standard cannot be used with modern spindle control boards - it has a resistive (0-10k ohm) input control mechanism, not an analogue (0-10v) one. If you do want to keep it..... ... you can use the C18 board by CNC4PC. This has a real potentiometer on it. ht...

- Some of the parts where I have asked for info don't have identifying marks that can be used to get spec sheets (the stepper motors, for example).... The parts list that was kindly uploaded simply lists these as 'X axis stepper motor, qty 1' and gives a part number, not specs. On this point, I res...

...of course, I forgot one: - specs and connection info for the shaft encoder on the main spindle Have you considered downloading and thoroughly reading the documents that the site admin. spends a lot a time and trouble posting? Answers to your questions are within; seek, young Jedi, and with Googl...

...what will I need? Am I right in thinking either an inverter which can be controlled through Mach? If so which one and how much and what do I need to control speed? Any modern inverter (VFD) suitable for the HP of the motor you have will do. Write down the information from the motor and give Driv...

Does anyone have an oil flow restrictor from the autolube system on a 1990 triac its marked M21 and fits in the oil dividing blocks? Steve Is it a flow restrictor or is it a metering unit? You might not know this, but these are standard industrial parts not specific to the Triac. Assuming the machi...

I'm interested to know how well Mach works with real servo machines - I presume it controls the drives through Step and Direction signals and assumes the axes are doing what they're supposed to (and not lagging behind) Yes and yes. You need S&D capable servos with Mach. Mach is open loop, so in bro...

what the main spindle bearing part number is for an easiturn, and where the best place to get is. Which spindle bearing? There are three on the spindle. Which Easiturn? 1, 2 or 3? I have what I believe is an Easiturn, but it's an early model (most obvious features are an imperial X-axis ballscrew a...

What other models of lathe had the ATC fitted?

AFAIK, the Orac one is the same.

Have a look at this thread viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2524 for some leads.

Just leaving a note in the hope that some one out there may have some PNC3 Spares, we are looking for toroiodal transformers but would be interested in most parts. Toroidal transformers are widely available. Try Airlink Transformers or Canturbury Windings. http://www.canterburywindings.co.uk/index....

Moderators, still having no luck finding answers to rewiring the micro switches on my Easiturn 3... The previous owner told me the location of the YELLOW & RED WIRES but could not remember where the BLUE ones went. Ted, The blue ones are not used. Tape over or heatshrink the ends so they don't shor...

Does anyone have detailed drawings for the orac turret that he can post on the forum?. Not Orac, I know, but there are lots of plans out there that could be scaled to fit. Just a few to to get you going: http://www.cnc-projects.de/Downloads/revolver-komplett.zip http://www.cnczone.com/forums/showth...

Hello. First post here. Thanks for a great site. I have acquired an Easiturn in pieces that I intend to rebuild to use Mach 3 and a servo-driven spindle. Finding information on these lathes is proving quite difficult. I have only found three photos, two of which are on this forum. What I am looking ...
