  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Calgary Area Meetup is set for Saturday July 12th at 10am. The signup thread is here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

    Tips/Techniques Arbor Press Mod and TOT

    Somewhere on here I have my press stand and ratchet mods - will see what I can add to this. One thing to note is to carve out a decent hollow under the press base for other gears, shafts to fit. Typically you have to press on shaft bearings where a shoulder (gear, larger diameter etc) are...

    SM change gears - Imperial 1120 for metric gears

    @88hillman I was able to salvage my USB and transfer data over to a jump drive. The forum does not support uploading a DWG file - If you PM me your email I can send you what info I have. I have the banjo and gear layout - did not dimension it yet as the project stopped when I got the metric...

    "Name that noise". Standard Modern Series 2000

    @JeffD the biggest pain to the shaft removal - red arrow and take off the driven pulley. Then behind that is the plate (yellow arrow) that seals the drive shaft and the access to the bearings you wish to pull. There is a cup seal for the drive shaft and possibly a gasket for the bearing seal...

    "Name that noise". Standard Modern Series 2000

    "Name that noise". Standard Modern Series 2000

    Here is the inside of your lathe. You have 2 ball bearings (blue arrows). There is a key (red arrow) mine was fractured at one end. There is the gear that is pinned to the other gears (green) that could be loose and then, depending on your speed selection, is the small gear (yellow circle)...

    SM change gears - Imperial 1120 for metric gears

    The banjo has the oiler fitted to it and the other oiler is removed. The banjo pivots on the flange of the gear box. A bolt hole needs to be drilled and taped into the gear box to allow the banjo to be secured after the backlash is established on the drive gears. You will see a raised area...

    SM change gears - Imperial 1120 for metric gears

    Here is what I made up in Auto Cad - I have to find the actual drawing yet. I was working out the gear placements and the tooth profile. One issue I had was finding the 14.5 and 16 pitch cutters to match the number of teeth required. The 14.5 I think is the harder cutter set to locate (at...

    SM change gears - Imperial 1120 for metric gears

    The “End Gear Train” diagram is from an SM 1334 Lathe and I don’t believe applies to the Utilathe or Series 2000 lathes The Utilathe and Series 2000 are virtually identical. Pretty much just a rebrand of the Utilathe to Series 2000. The parts are interchangeable and you will note that the...
