Help with TDS6 Bowl Lathe
Posted: Thu 28 Jul , 2022 20:31 pm
My first post here. When Covid started I decided to get my first and last lathe. After long time looking I have finally managed to find a TDS6 Bowl Lathe! Union Graduates seem to go for big money
I will add vfd but otherwise want to keep it as original as possible.
Can anyone help with a RAL code for this colour?
It came with a Burnerd independent four jaw chuck which will not be too user friendly. Dedicated chucks are hard to find. What are other folks solutions? I don't want an adapter if I can avoid it. Is it better to machine the spindle or machine the back-plate of a modern chuck?
The machine came with most original parts ( including a Denford dust extractor unit for the out-board sanding disc!) but if anyone has a large curved tool rest ..... I'm interested
