Just to be curious, what’s the problem with the one nail mounts? I hung my lines with them 15 - 16 years ago and they’re all still there. D :cool:

LOL, ya gotta learn to choose your projects or you’ll wind up with 42^3 in the hopper and no space to work on them. ;) D :cool:

When I was looking for info Racer wasn’t much help but the support gent at Leblond was happy to look up the info and chat about the lathes. They cleared out a bunch of old part stock but still keep some parts that have some turnover. D :cool:

I have an 1120 Series 2000 and your tailstock looks a lot like they used the same upper portion and made the base part thicker to suit the 13” version. I’m guessing that you could thin it down in your spare time while you’re dealing with the gear issue. ;) D :cool:

LOL! It’s only a half hour drive but until a flash hits me saying I have a brilliant inspiration about how I might use it then the seller will have to continue to contemplate its place on their shelf. I already have 42^2 projects in the hopper. ;) D :cool:

I wonder about the loading on the gear path not necessarily designed for the lower speed/possibly higher torque that would come from the ops that would use the spindle speed that would result. That and since the feed rates are tied to spindle to feed screw ratios you’d lose some of the lower...

You and @whydontu are trying to put me in the poorhouse LOL! Already too many tools to play with and too many projects, how can I get anything finished? What I need is a friend with an US cleaner! D :cool:

LOL! You underestimate Ms. Tecnico at your peril! We're planning a cross country trip when she hangs it up and you might have to explain the logic to her in person if we drop in on the way by. ;) You know I've thought a few times about an US cleaner, including when I was dip tanking all 4...
