    Remington auction

    Not sure if anyone is following it, but i was sent this listing by a friend from the states. It’s the disbursement of the remington factory. Lots and lots of tools. I’m curious to see if they meet reserve and what they go for...

    Colchester Triumph help

    I wasn’t sure where to post this but figured I’d start here. A while back I posted about a Colchester triumph for sale in NS. I went to look at it and probably against the advise of more knowledgeable folks, I ended up buying it. The owner had converted it to a single phase motor. The...

    Another ELS build in the works

    I’ve decided to add an ELS to my CX709 13x24 lathe. I realized it’ll be a while before I can replace it as I’d rather add a mill first. I’ll update the thread as I make progress. I‘ve ordered one of John‘s (from the forum) kits and now need to decide on electronics. Electronics are completely...

Ive also realized change gears are going to get old fast for me. I think I’m after something in the 14x40 range with at least a 1.5 inch spindle bore and...

    Help with threading on a cx709

    I’ve been trying to single point thread on my cx709. I picked a 16tpi thread to practice with because that’s what I plan to cut in the future. I keep running into the issue of the threads moving for lack of a better term. The first pass is fine, matches the thread pitch gauge. 2nd pass is...

    Busy Bee CX709 chuck help

    First off, I’m still very new to machining, and might not have all the terms right. I have a used cx709 lathe I picked up a couple years ago. Yesterday I tried to fit the 4 jaw chuck to it, but the screw holes in the backing plate don’t line up to the holes in the chuck. The 3 jaw is fine, and...
