RE: 2 Morse Taper

[MWF]

Hi Bill,

Since Curtis is on vacation, and will not see your email for another week or two, I'll go ahead and respond for him:

"We would all LOVE to see photos of that machine."

(Curtis always asks for photos.  I, for one, appreciate him asking for them - and folks providing them.)

Thanks - we look forward to seeing photos of the vertical boring machine.  I realize that was so long ago that the photos may be of the "tintype" variety - but they will be better than none. ;-)

Mac

My biggest machine was a vertical borer it had a 26ft chuck, among jobs I machined was big valves off some of our biggest lakes operating the machine one story off the ground watching all that mass revolving around below you, it did feel like controlling the world you could drive a truck through the middle of it ,man that was so long ago now I couldn’t even clime up on the machine to work it lolol😊 it sure sux to get old.

So off topic, but my favorite is an old Clausing lathe and an old no brand T-lathe off of a battle ship! That monster could swing around 4 or 5 feet diameter. Scariest machine I ran but you felt like you controlled the word!

Back to the legacy topics please.

Thanks Tim

I have the single locking collar for the chuck, have tried that with the chuck and all is o.k. I am well aware of morse tapers having bought and sold quite a few metal working lathes. The best one of all of them was a VDF German made lathe See http://www.lathes.co.uk/

Cheers

No one mentioned to NOT hammer it in like you would a lathe.  In fact I would  recommend  that you take it out frequently.   You remove the knob from the end of the spindle and use the 1/4" Allen wrench to tap it out. 

If you don't follow this advice, you will find the drive gets stuck inside the socket and heavier means are necessary.

If you really don't take this advice, the two metals will become one and they are seriously not for woodworkers to attempt getting them apart!

So some of this was said tongue in check, but the double locking collar is the definitive way to go.  Last I checked, legacy still had then in stock.  They are just two locking collars welded together. One has a smooth 1" bore that tightens on the drive an the other collar I threaded 1-8 that tightens on the spindle

If you choose to use a chuck or a face plate you will need a smooth bore split collar to make the accessories turn true.

Hope that helps

I have just put together my shortened 900 However I am not to impressed with the head stock 2 morse. Will there be a chance of it slipping if the tailstock dead center loosens and the pressure on the 2 morse eases . Do I need to locktite it or pin it somehow ??
