Hi from MTL Qc.

Hi folks,

My name is Robert Gallagher. I'm a former millwright, and love to work on old HD motorcycles. Just purchased a King Canada 7'' x 12'' mini lathe and I already messed up the interchangeable gear for thread forming. So I'll have a few questions regarding this issue. Here are 2 pics of my latest rebuit, a 1943 WLC, one from the purchase to 8 years later, with 95% of the work done. At the moment of the pictures, original WW2 saddlebags were on their way home from Belgium.

Thank you,

Robert

Welcome to the forum. I know there is a whack of info and websites out there on those little 7" mini lathes. Motorcycle looks pretty cool.
