WTB used tapering accessories and lathe parts

[cueporn]

ALL SET I HAVE ALL OF THIS< making new post for remaining wish list.

I am looking to buy items to complete a 48 inch bed big bore headstock lathe I am putting together. It will have a full rack so a carriage can travel along and perform tapering with a small laminate router using a screw feed power feed.

I have everything I need now , thanks to all who helped me.

Now I just have to put together the cuebuilding lathe of my dreams, and thankfully I didn't completely break the bank. I will post photos of it in a few weeks when it's all together.

Thank You.

What kind of motor and controller are you going to use

Undecided

I have had members make arguments for all of the manufacturers!

I'd like a variable speed 1/2 hp mounted to the headstock. Definately dont want multiple pully channels and belt moving to change speeds.

What are your opinions on motors? It is going o be a tapering machine, some taping too. No major boring planned just yet.

If you are going with the 1/2 hp PennState motor/controller I made up an extra set of brackets for it. I wouldnt mind trading for one of the 1010 linear bearings and a foot of 1010. I picked up some 1/3 hp motors and controller that I was going to try next and they will need different brackets

Nice Work

Taig really thought of everything didnt they. I would like to do a trade for your Penn State mount and a version 2 tip tool platform. Did you receive my PM?

Please give me the part number for the dovetail mount from Taig.

Thank you.
