Rebuilding a Van Norman #12 in UK

that's all I have left to work on. Cal Haines is the Van Norman man. I think it's worth messaging him.
 
Thanks, I have communicated with Cal. He's provided a lot of information. And I was able to dismantle the head on my machine.

Cal is the man. AND he shares his info very unselfishly.
 
Nels,
Nany news on the right hand lead screw casting? "We may make some based on the #16 casting which is sturdier at some point"

I STRONGLY urge against trying to make a "sturdier" right hand bracket. The problem isn't that the bracket isn't sturdy enough, it's that idiots remove the maximum limit of travel feed stops to try to get a little more travel, then power feed the table into the saddle. If the right hand bracket doesn't break, something else will.
