Great stuff Cliff. The saddle gearbox has grease in from new, that's why they leak with oil in. I have oil in mine too, as you say it finds it's level. Still leaks a bit but acceptable and better than anything seizing. For the Head and Norton box, it's Castrol Hyspin Hydraulic Oil or a good alternative is air tool oil. This is available from Screwfix under the PCL brand. Perfect for the job as it doesn't attack yellow metal bearings and is a good moisture repellent. I recently changed my oil and this is what I used. Best wishes, Dean.
Im really interested to know your impressions on the crash clutch on the feed shaft, I dont know how it works but I would like to know if this really might save me if I screw up. Im not willing to test it but would like to know if it has my back
@@CliffsShed it's just series of friction plates, held together by spring pressure. You can adjust the break point by reducing the spring pressure. It does work, it's designed to be used in conjunction with the bed stop for precision repeat cuts. My lathe is a 1973 model so I try to avoid stressing it too much. It's as old as me! Best wishes, Dean.
That looks really good Cliff, I also forgot the carriage lock on the Holbrook and had to remove the saddle again!
Go for it!

Was a proper FFS moment and a pain to rectify, I did or I'd surely of lost it if I left it!

I'm following your progress closely. I also have an EMCO V10-P that I need to clean up.
Always knew it was a good lathe, taking it to bits really shows you the quality of it.
Thanks for watching,
Cliff
Looking like new Cliff 👍👍👍 Looking forward to seeing you spin that up for the first time since the refurb. Cheers, Alan.
Next week Alan, I hope!!!!!
