• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance.

  • 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!

    "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

    Give me a bit and I will see if my CAD files still have it. You will need to verify measurements. I drew it up several years ago when contemplating making the gears. I aquired a metric Utilathe and didn’t keep going on the change gears.

    Standard Modern Series 2000

    @JeffD : the bearing (item 25 on page 10 of the series 2000 manual) can cause noise and typically wears faster than the front conical bearing. This could be from incorrect pre-load on the conical bearing (side loading on the (25) ball bearing) or the adjustment nut being too loose. On the...
