Restoration/Repairs on a 10" LD Utilathe - Standard Modern

@Salem747 :

here are some pics of the 16” Utilathe:







Does that seem more like your lathe?

 

[Salem747]

Yes! that is my machine.

Does the shaft have a flat where the set screw holds the gear on?

Hey @Salem747 : There is no flat to locate the set screw. This allows for the indexed head to be rotated and properly aligned with the indicator. The indicator on the 16" Utilathe looks to be part of the apron casting.

 

[Salem747]

Yes, I will look when I get home. There is just a hole through the apron. I'll check to see there is an indication mark there on the apron.

I also notice that you snuck in a teaser photo of the taper attachment, very sneaky!
