    How does this taper attachment work? Does it attach to the top of your cross slide?

    Hello from Vancouver

    Welcome back from Vancouver. I bought my used 13x40 in Langley Township, 17 months ago after about 9 months of watching marketplace etc. Be patient and avoid the rusty worn out ones. As you're looking, formulate a plan for moving something that is both top heavy and heavy. I think I still have...

    Carbon paper and the seamstress roller are working great.

    Transfer paper pattern to sheet aluminum

    I neglected to mention that there is some bead rolling, so I don't think attaching the paper directly would work very well.

    Transfer paper pattern to sheet aluminum

    Unfortunately, it's much more than just the perimeter. There are lines for the finished perimeter, there is an rough initial perimeter line that is 1" larger to resist bead roller warping, there is a line for the bead roller to follow, lines for decorative cutout shapes and some screw hole...

    Transfer paper pattern to sheet aluminum

    I'd got to the carbon paper (picked some up) or transfer paper (probably what your wife uses), but not to a good way to apply pressure. I just rummaged through the sewing supplies and found one of the serrated wheel transfer tools. I think it will work.

    Transfer paper pattern to sheet aluminum

I need to be able to follow some of the transferred pattern with a bandsaw and some with a bead roller.

    Yes, I understood that it was the lowest shaft and the right hand lever on the carriage. I just need enough details (like proper function), in order to recreate it. I've found someone semi-local, with the same lathe series. He has taken a few photos for me, which show two microswitches in the...

    BaitMaster’s (Work) Bench

    Thanks for explaining the action of the lever @BaitMaster ! Does the "latch"ing happen because the switch is on the circular part of the switch cam? My 13x40 is about a 2000 and appears to have once had one. I'm guessing it was damaged in transport and removed. The stop button feels a long way...
