If your slide rest has an index dial, you can judge from the number of divisions whether the 18 TPI feed screw is a replacement. Is there an index dial with graduations on that screw? There is no way to make 18 TPI work with an index dial. Miss E, I am worried by your report that the slide rest feed screw is 5/16-18 UNC. For light work you can loosen the bearings and easily go to 1800- 2000rpm Spindle speeds for average work - about 1000-1200rpm. It really takes a lot of abuse to destroy this type of bearing. Check the bearings and continue the process until the bearings turn true. I use an electric hand drill with a shaft and universal chucked in a collet to drive the bearing concentric. DO NOT USE the drive belt to turn the lathe as you may 'egg' the bearings. Start turning the lathe and slowly adjusting the bearings tighter. Put the oil and compound slurry in the bearings. Be sure to get the timesavers that is compatible with the bearing materials. Get some 'timesavers' lapping compound (don't use regular lapping compound) and mix with spindle oil. If they still don't turn properly I would try relapping the bearings before you do anything else. They may look scored but function very well. Before I would do any grinding or anything else to those bearings I would first clean them, oil properly and adjust then try them out. The 'thrust bearing' is the bearing adjustment. The bearings ride on a film of oil between the metals in the cone. The bearings appear to be the typical dissimilar metal cone bearings as found in watchmaker lathes. From your pics, the construction and size is very similar. I don't have a Lorch but I have a number of 7' vintage US precision bench lathes. I am in the process of repainting, as you can see from the pictures, and there are a lot of little jobs along the way, but I am hoping I end up with a machine with a reasonable level of precision when its all done. I wonder how I can hook this up to work up to 1200 rpm, maybe, and what a good range of speeds may be.ДЄlso wonder If anyone knows what model lorch this might be?

I wonder if anyone has done this to a lathe like this? the motor I looked at did 2500 RPM full speed, and I would like to keep the flat belt drive. I am thinking to fit a 500 w DC motor (36v) with an electronic speed control. It also needs new graduated screws, has anyone any experiece with either of these jobs? they are brass, so i guess the best way will just be to make new ones. Ill try to fit a sleeve back inside, eventually. The spindle has been bored out to maximum size unfortunately, where it once held 12.5mm lorch collets. I wonder how fast a plain bearing spindle should run? my little ww watchmakers lathe (my trade) runs ok at 1500 rpm, for short bursts, with a very similar bearing system. I have planned a manganese bronze replacement, and at the moment I'm having the spindle journal ground parallell again. The spindle bearings are a bit of a mess, one of them is a recycled plumbing fitting. You can check out my restoration progress at an you can see it is coming along niceley. it has a 800mm bed, is 100mm centre height, and is in fairly sweet condition. I have bought a little lorch lathe recently, and have been spending some time and money setting it up and restoring it. Tons of accessoires to LA early this year) Bertus.I am posting this here, I did post it in the european toolroom lathe section, but I didnt get many replies, so In view of how old it may be, I will post it here again. Packed sea-worthy in a heat treated crate and door to door. Shipping to Detroit from Holland is somewhere between в‚¬ 1500 and в‚¬ 2000. Weiler, Schaublin, Cazeneuve, AI Hembrug is a much saver way to go. The Lorch company went down late '70's or early '80's. On the downside is that finding parts is near to impossible or requires a lot craftmenship, time and a shop to produce the parts. Peter stated that it is in pretty good condition. Hi Peter and Todd, it is obvious a nice machine of superb quality (when new).

Am I correct that your the machinery dealer in Holland that post on this board?Дo you have any experiences shipping machines to the states? Do you have any idea what it would cost to get that machine packed and shipped to Detroit MI? Ben Folds Five Unauthorized Biography Rar there.

You bought it take what you paid for it add what you think you need to make to make it worth your while and that's your asking price. He feels bad that such a beautiful piece isn't being used, and he would like to use the money to buy a jointer and some other things for his woodworking shop. My husband has a Lorch double pedestal watchmaker's lathe that he inherited from his grandfather that he wants me to sell.
