    Machine Used DARBERT Lathe

    One of those situations where you need a lathe to fix the lathe. If it weren't broken it would be a real deal.

    @Chipper5783 I've done more looking since my post and found that Cinci has different adaptors. Mine has the slotted nut and I think the 1" large end taper. will keep digging. Thanks for the replies.

    Grinding wheel adaptor Question

    Question is, are all adaptors for surface grinders the same taper ? I got several adaptors with the B&S #13 but they are all LH thread. If I want to use the right hand end of the spindle I need a RH thread adaptor. I went to the mcmaster Carr web site and their adaptors are listed for all...

    Anyone recognize this footstock?

    I took some measurements: the center is 4" above the flat bottom surface, the flat is 3 1/2" left to right and 4 1/8 front to back. The two holes intersect at the same spot in the bottom, one hole is vertical and the other is at about 45 deg.. use one or the other but not both at the same time...

    B&S #13 grinder followed me home

    Thanks for the heads-up on it Mcgyver, I may not have seen it otherwise. It's a very well made machine. As I clean things up I am constantly impressed by the workmanship put into the fitting and design of these things.

    B&S #13 grinder followed me home

    I think it was @Mcgyver who posted a kijiji add about a #13 grinder for sale in Yorkton.I can blame him for costing me money. (thanks Mcgyver). Anyhow, it seems to be in great condition so far, all the scraping marks are basically unworn and everything seems tight . I am going through the...
