Emco Compact 8 dimension request

[Steve-F]

Hello, I have acquired a Emco Compact 8 lathe bed and carriage. Can some one please give some measurements of the spindle housing and center line of the spindle from the bed?
I'm going to give this project a shot at working again

Thanks !!!

OK,I got the centerline number at 105 mm, anyone have the headstock length, width and height??

 

[Steve-F]

Hi all, I have made a simple sketch and would be most grateful if someone with a Emco Compact 8 could please fill in a few numbers for me of the cross slide:<)
I would love to make it as close to the original that I can.


Thank you !!!

Still looking......To the top please


Thanks!!!

Here's my measurements, by the way the compound is in the middle of a circle, only a part of circle is milled away.

 

[Steve-F]

Fermic, you Rock!!!!! Thank you so much!! Awesome, now I can get to work

Update! I have made the first part towards getting my cross slide made. A 416 SS degree wheel which the rest is all built on. Next, moving on to lower dovetail part that joins to it

 

[Steve-F]

Making some headway!! Next is to knock off the extra stock and begin the dovetail cuts....oh, I was going to make the spindle but found one on E-Bay!! Saves me a bunch of work!

 

[Steve-F]

Dovetails complete with gib lock, next I need to make a lead screw!

 

[Steve-F]

Well, some more progress! Made 8mm left hand lead screw and half nut, bought the dial off E-pay( the wrong one , should been the smaller one,...oh well), made the handles, put it all together for a test fit and so far so good I won't commit to the hole in the top yet until I either make or buy some quick detachable ones. Next, moving on to either the tail stock or drive train next:<)
