My first lathe! What model is it? Pics!

[stevos758]

Can someone get me some detailed picks of the gears setup? I think I might be missing some pieces. I cut my first chips! Pics to come later.

 

[stevos758]

Ordered some evapo rust after I got to cleaning some. She really needs it.

First cut!

Ok more pics. At this point I'll see what the evaporust does. What does everyone suggest for the ways? How can I bring them back?

Now hear is everything I have for the gears. am I missing parts? It seems I am possible missing some bushings? Or perhaps the wrong hardware is on the machine?

What about the tailstock? I'll get some pics of the inside. What fits on there?

Anything you guys can do to help!

Ideally buy or build a tub to soak the bed, and buy some more Evaporust
soak the bed and everything else at the same time. The ER will remove rust, grease and most everything else except paint and metal

Ohh! That sounds expensive! Was looking at electrolysis too. Might be more cost effective? I suppose I could build a long shallow tub and just dip the ways in? The rest is actually not bad. What should I coat with after? Wd40?

The V-42 is a 10F model with babbit bearings (they could still be ordered up to about 1945). The 10D has the double-handle crank on the compound feed screw instead of the small thumbwheel that yours has. My estimate is that it is a Model 1042 from sometime in 1934. There is a photo of it in Atlas Catalog No. 8.

FWIW, the horizontal countershaft came out with the 10F circa 1938/9.

I forgot I have a friend who has access to a large surface grinder. Should I even have thoughts of doing that in my head?

The ways don't look that bad from here. Soak them in Evaporust (I'd use phosphoric acid) and then check them over. You can make a soaking trough out of plastic film plus some boards and bricks and stuff.

[Edit] As those are square ways parts of the edges and undersides matter as well.

 

[stevos758]

I believe I am missing these? Anyone have some dimensions for me?

Also the compound gears... But I think I can 3D print those.

Do you think I could just keep coating the ways with it every 15 minutes or so for a few hours or would this be a lost cause?
