Actually adding power cross feed to an EMCO v-10 lathe and/or power down feed to the mill attachment.
We are attempting to upgrade our college machine shop without spending any money. I and the students are putting some money in the pot, and are considering improving our EMCO v10 lathes [See
We have located what appear to be suitable motors for 20$ each at surpluscenter.com see
The 25-RPM motors will produce 2.5 IPM feed if directly connected.
My question to the group, has anyone done this with an EMCO V10 or equivalent lathe and with what results? Anything you would do different? Would you do it again?
Thanks for your help.
