Three weeks of grunge cleaning. New bearings, replaced split nut gib, new placards (Thanks ChrisAttebery) New paint job, replaced missing handles. Ready for action!
That's great info! Thank you so much.Nice! Great work.
Those were imported by Jet, Grizzly, Enco, Birmingham and a few others for many years, under various names and model #s.
I have had the Birmingham version. The YCL1340GH for many years. It's been a good lathe. I've been getting spare and replacement parts from Grizzly. The old discontinued G4016 is the same machine and they still stocks many parts for it.
Mines had alot of work done as well. Paint, powdercoat, Timken spindle bearings. Titanium handles, cerakoted knobs. I added a pull out chip pan from a G0709.
The bed-ways on these are well hardened and last a long time.
My electrical controls, the Jog, Estop and power LED crumbled into powder from age. I replaced them with stainless and anodized switches, in an aluminum panel.
Thanks Mike.Looks great! Mike
