my company just purchased a lathe for our shop. i have no lathe experience but its a tool that is valuable in my industry (musical instrument repair) i'm excited to get to know this machine and improve my skill set.
i partially disassembled it for transport. in reassembling it i'm having trouble with the counter shaft set screws, spacing of the cone on that shaft, and tension of the flat belt.
there is a collar with a standard screwdriver head set screw and i'm not quite sure of the placement. when i tighten down the alan set screw in the middle wheel of the cone and turn it on it slips. it catches at first and then just stops. messing with the tension of the flat belt has helped little.
i'd love to see some pics of that area to sort out the spacing. also is there a key in that shaft i'm missing? or a recess for the set screw? remember it says newbie at the start of this post so pre forgive my ignorance. any help would be appreciated. thanks!
