Just off the strength of you saying this lathe was German, I listened to your first video and this one And just five minutes ago, ordered this lathe off Amazon and a add on for making balls for my armatures Awesome breakdown, please don't stop being amazing! Thanks for this really great info video! 👍👍 UK
Yup! Especially rough cleaning in between operations and some detailed cleaning (including wiping down all the ways and lead screws with alcohol and re-lubricating them) before putting the thing away most important.
Very good and necessary maintenance. I'll start working on my PD right away. Thanks! Wouldn't grease be applied to the sliding components during reassembly to minimize play?
Hi, is it possible for you to measure the centering diameter on the back of the proxxon lathe chuck and the diameter of the mounting hole circle and which size screws are used for mounting the chuck? That would be really great! I am looking for a chuck for my new Emco lathe. The proxxon chuck looks similar but proxxon don't want to tell me the dimensions to check if it fits... Thank you very much in advance!
The diameter for the mounting hole circle is 29mm (3 hole pattern for 3 jaw chuck), respectively, 34mm (4 hole pattern for 4 jaw chuck): suter-meggen.ch/zubehoer/proxxon/sortiment/ersatzteilblaetter/24407%20%20Drehfutter,%2024407,%2024408,%2024410,%2024034,%2024036%2020150204p.pdf The bolts are M5 I believe. Hope that helps.
@@robertssmorgasbord Thank you very much for your reply! That is exactly what I need. Now I know the Proxxon chuck is exactly the same mount as the Emco one and I can order one :) Thanks again for your kind help!

Thanks for the praise! I'm blushing here 😅 Hope you have a lot of fun with your new lathe. And of course you're very welcome!
Well done! Every machine needs to be properly maintained to last a long time.

The nut at the front under the tailstock probably needs tightening up a bit to stop the slack.
Indeed it did ( ua-cam.com/video/P20f-YOoKhw/v-deo.htmlsi=L17jbQReztfXwIo7&t=762 ) 😉

Well, the manual states to just use oil on that machine. But I think you are right, grease would have been an option.

@@WeCanDoThatBetter Your welcome! But keep in mind that I didn't find any information about the centering diameter.
@@robertssmorgasbord I will get a chuck from Proxxon and see if it really fits. I hope it does :)
@@WeCanDoThatBetter I wish you luck! Let me know if it fits.
