Well I got a bit of a fix done. Took a while to get a cyclonic (?) pump from the US for around 50. Unfortunately it’s a redneckery solution again, I modified the last adapter to index with the new pump, mounted the pump To a piece of steel plate, and then bolted a small angle iron to two pre...

@historicalarms your 100% right, my lathe isn’t that small though. It’s a 16x30” with about 5Gal+ of HS oil. And I did the spindle bearings once! I do not wish to do that again! Want more! @RobinHood thats a neat set up. Stealing power from the lower sheave to run the pump is an idea I had...

@Susquatch I ran The old pump when I rebuild it, without the spindle in the lathe. Not much flow really. 1/4” copper line and it wasn’t streaming out that fast. Honestly think anything i out here will be an improvement. As far as pressure build up from running a hydraulic pump isn’t pressure a...

I did have it apart before. It’s a pretty small, imo under flowing pump. Which I why I wanted to install a second one to increase flow of oil to the new bearings. Obviously having a built in pump running off the gear would be simpler. The problem is access. This small pump is attached to...

@Susquatch what about these pumps that have a rubber impeller, but it’s squished to one side folding the vanes over pushing it through the other side. That would be positive displacement wouldn’t it? I get that a typical impeller type wouldn’t work the best. I’ll to find an example of one...

Well this is something, and here I thought I’d memorized princess autos catalogue Has NBR impeller think I might go put their No sale is final policy to the test ;) Edit. Oh Now I see @Susquatch’s post. Nitrile (also known as NBR rubber and Buna-N) is the seal industry's most widely used...

Was looking at brewing transfer pumps thinking they might work. One has this in the write up though. I guess I should add looking for an 115v oil pump that isn’t hundreds of dollars. I guess I could find some sort of hydraulic pump off something and couple it to a small 115v motor.

5ft would be a joy. I warned steel framers on a job they said they would move. All they did was put a 2ft piece of drywall behind their chop saw that was directly against the glass. One little clean square. Whole wall of rustic glass lol!

@Susquatch i had it apart when I removed my spindle out of the lathe. It wasn’t working well then It’s a small one directional gear pump, the gear was held on with red loctite which broke loose, the seal on the main shaft Was gone. Was someone’s previous “good enough” this old girl had a hard...

yup! Glazer by trade. The amount of times we’ve had to replace whole walls of brand new glass with backcharges ranging from 15k for a couple pieces. 25-50k, and one that was 75% of the buildings glass and I heard the glass alone was over 100k Staggering how often it happens after you warn...
