Good on you Rob; it's been great to follow this build along with your utube. Great looking machine; good strong stand. Happy machining.
Thanks for pics too.
cheers

Yes, everything has gone to plan, but you can't rush these jobs.
I found a bit of tin jammed under the edge of the pulley centre and held on with masking tape (yep you have to see how it was when I bought it) and wondered what that was there for.
Turns out it was supposed to correct the pulley weave - LOL.
It looks like I will have to use a test bar on this lathe when setting it up for a job. I have one I made years ago, but I may have to see if I can improve it a bit more.
I may have to use an idler roller for "V" belt adjustment.
Still a way to go.
But at least it does run now
Cheers

The Schaublin is fully operational
Well, after months of work the little Schaublin is finally operational.
Late in the day when I took these photo's so had to use the flash. Will do a video of it in action soon.
Anyway here's a few photos to give you an idea of how it turned out.
I ran the test gauge along a test bar on it and my scraping seems to have been pretty successful.
Cheers
Rob

I just realised it's taken me 6 months to get to this point in time. Long job.
It was a heap of junk when I got it. I didn't really need another lathe, and I have often though I must have been mad to buy this, but it makes life interesting.
Now I can start playing with it

Hi Rob,
It's great to see such a nice bit of swiss precision machinery brought back to life. Documenting the project on video, is definitely a big plus.. I think it's just got at least another 50 years of life.
Regards
Ray

Thanks all.
I will do a run around with the video soon and you can get a better look at it.
I thought my motor mount was pretty crafty - it flexes a high tensile steel base plate with a large adjusting nut under the motor base.
The motor must weigh about 20 kg - it's an oldie from a shearing shed. Built like a tank. The internal wiring was OK. I had to re-do the capacitor start side of things.

Here's a video look at it.

I've identified the weird problem with the cross slide action.
Looks like someone has replaced the left hand threaded Acme shaft and block at some stage, and as taps and dies in that configuration are pretty scarce, has just put in a right hand threaded system. LOL.
Only an Aussie would do that.
So another job, to correct - doable but will be a chore making a tap etc.

What size Rob?
I bought a new nut for my compound because I originally bought the wrong size and when buying the right size I had to add to the order to get the minimum order value up, so I may have an acme nut (in 8tpi) that will suit.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for the offer, unfortunately being a Schaublin nothing is as simple as a nut
They use a tube type thread block in the cross slide (about 1" long from memory) which is pinned into place.
I'm going to leave it for a while until after I get a few other more pressing jobs out of the way. I'm a bit Schaublined out at the moment - been such a long haul. It's a PITA for sure.
I may still take you up on a bit of that foam cutting wire if the offer still stands though.
Cheers
Rob
