Hi all I was thinking of making a rear tool post for my viceroy gb I have seen on other posts that they used to do a cross slide with 2 tee slots milled in as an extra. However there are drawings available on the forum to Mill your own. My problem is the cross slide as a cast aluminium cover which p...

Very handy document.
Just what I have been looking for

Hi All Through a process of trial and error I proved my logic correct. The 16t gear is position 5 on the gear selector lever. To do this I had to remove the gear train to see what the 32T wheel meshed with. It does in fact mesh solely with a wheel on the back shaft that has the sliding wheels for th...

Hi all Finally took the plunge and removed my gearbox front cover. The route cause of my problem was immediately visible and was the right hand tumbler carrier part no ML115/910A was shattered in 3 different parts and the tumbler shaft was lying on the bottom of the gearbox. I have finally managed t...

Hi thanks for the info. Mine is definitely a metric box. Another thought has just struck me, on the feed and speed instructions from the Denford manual. They go through it step by step and they emphasise that the lathe must be running before you engage left right or middle also for lead screw or fee...

Hi All Drawing No ML115/900m shows on section KK a part numbered ml115 985 which in the parts list is described as "foolproof pin housing" it also shows a part ML115 987 described as "foolprof pin" This pin goes into the gear box and butts up to ml 115 952a described as "selector Shaft" My Question ...

Hi Richard. Will check the shear pin but all the gear train is moving as should, the input shaft to the gearbox is rotating and the end of the shaft which is flush with the side of the gearbox is rotating (as expected) I am meeting the vendor tomorrow and will be raising this with him. Thanks once a...

Hi There is a thread on here labelled feed as speed plate. One of the writers is a person called Pete cnc expert. He shows a picture of the front gearbox cover which has been removed and he cautions the other party to leave the gear selector lever in situ. Is Pete still on the forum I would like to ...

Hi
Long shot here but can you remove that front gearbox cover without removing the gear selector lever.

Hi Richard Thanks for your reply. The input shafts to the gearbox is turning via the gear train With selection lever in neutral and lathe running the dial will not turn. It was turning when I first tried it but was struggling to get feeds working, that was before you explained the stud gears. I trie...

Hi Thank you all for your info. Just spent the last hour in my workshop trying to free it up. Didnt mention it in my earlier post but neither my lead screw or drive shaft is turning in any settings. Looking through from the back of the head stock I can see something try to move when I wiggle the sel...

Thanks for that Andy

Hi Andy removed the stud gear on my lathe as per marked photo.
No letter on it just the number 24 which from your description makes it the "D" gear.
Does this mean I can only use the combination of feeds that has the D listed on the plate.

Hi Richard

Thanks for the info.
Will get hold of my vendor and see if he can shed some light on whats happened to the change gears (fingers crossed)

Hi Les

Not only do I not have the gears but also there doesnt appear to be a stud on which they should be hung.
Were do you position the gears (if you have them)

Hi Les
Thanks for your input it's much appreciate.
