• 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. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click 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!

I know this is an old post, I had the same lathe same problem, their intermediate shaft is pretty Wimpy, I found mine to have about .015 runout and most likely came from a broken tooth on the bull gear, a little heat and a tapaty tap tap and problem solved

Can you please expand on what you did?
Tapaty tap tap?
 
as I was heating shaft I hit it with heavy brass mallet, this was a couple years ago. I regret selling it, I've been looking for another one since, SM's are hard to find here in New England

Hi and Welcome!
My parents lived in Foxboro, I was born in Belleville General Hospital.
My wife and I lived near Frankford for a spell around 1994.
I still have family in Foxboro, Stirling, and Belleville.

I was born in Belleville general also. Grew up in Stirling.
 
I should add if you lived anywhere near the abandon railway bed in frankford back in 1994 sorry for the noise lol. I was always on there on my 1993 RM125. Most times we would be up in the Marmora mines though.
 
Marmora mines.
Yeah what an amazing place that was.

I remember driving the 1980 Plymouth Horizon in there thru the abandon railway route.
We just fit between the boulders.

Very bipolar.

You could run up the side of the pile and think you were at the top only to discover another pile, again and again and again.....

Then the hole. It was difficult to get perspective until you picked up a rock and tried to make it splash in the water in the bottom, only to have the stone go maybe 3-4 tiers down and hit the same side of the hole you were standing on. That's a big hole!

@JeffD , sorry for the way off topic!
