anyone want a 64 tooth change gear for a small crafstman/atlas?

I have a Craftmans lathe. All the gear sets, etc. Problem is the gears do not stay engaged while machining. Maybe I am driving the spindle too fast, etc. Other thing is getting the gibs adjusted. Sucks! Either too tight, too loose, or tight at one end and loose at the other end. Need to take some time and research the lathe.

read the stuff at the link above - he has some really good ideas and shows how his improvements affected the capability of the little lathe.

But I have buy a mill to build his fixes. :>)

Indeed - or you have to persuade someone else to let you use their mill - you can use mine, but I'll bet I'm too far away for that to be practical

I need to hit a big lotto to buy more land for a bigger shop. :>}

I'd have to actually waste my money on a ticket first. ;)

Since Im not an illegal alien, or foreign national here in the US...based on the national identity of the average winner here in California...shrug..there is no sense for me to buy a ticket.

Im a white American citizen of California..so I have a near zero chance of winning.

"I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer." -- Benjamin Franklin, /The Encouragement of Idleness/, 1766
