Newbie looking for lead screw bearing plans

[rfdes]

I've finally got my 10F running and am wanting to make a new lead screw bearing/bushing as the homemade one that came with
the lathe is a kludge and poorly made.

Anyway, it seems that during all of my Atlas searching I've run across several write ups for making a new one but now
can't seem to find them.. I figured this would make a fairly easy beginner's project. So, if anyone would be kind enough
to point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

thanks
Jim

Just 're-pinging' the group to see if anyone can direct me to a drawing for making a lead screw bearing.
I'm a fairly rank beginner and need to practice building some things from a drawing instead of winging it.
Hope to hear from someone -
thanks
Jim

There was a web site about Atlas lathes maintained by a fellow named Ronald Thibault which had dimensioned drawings on it. I would post a link here but that web site is not up any longer. But before the ISP on which the site was maintained pulled the plug on their user's web sites I was able to snag a copy of the drawing and saved it for posterity.



I hope this helps!

I hope the OP found this useful.

Yes - I did find this useful.. Thanks for your help. I sent you a PM thanking you earlier. I am putting the final touches on my
restoration job. At the moment, I am wiring up the motor, etc. I should then be ready to work on building the bearing.

Again, thanks for the response and pictorial.

Spiral-chips, Thank you. I have used the snipping tool to clip the enlarged view and make an Open Office document. Never know when this could come in handy.

Odd, PM didn't work and it is on and open to all members.
I'm pleased you found this useful! Ditto shoeboxpaul!
