A QC gearbox came with my 10" lathe. The lathe S/N is 12456. The gearbox is a Model 820.
I don't see any pre-drilled holes to mount a gearbox. It came with shorter lead screw, but the lead screw has no slot. I looked over a previous thread and it appears that to use this gearbox, I need to :
1. Mill the gearbox where it mounts to the bed
2. Drill the bed for the dowels and mounting screws
3. Mill a slot in the lead screw to drive the worm gear.
Is this correct? Anything I am missing?
I have what I think is a complete set of change gears, all in good condition. Am I giving up anything - other than set-up time, by just using the change gears?
Does a the gearbox have any value if I were to try to sell it?
