I have finished the rebuild on a used lathe that I bought about a month back. It is a well used and in bad shape Valex BV20 model. Quite a few issues were repaired and it now has a new paint theme. It was a very fruitful rebuild that taught me a lot of useful stuff and somewhat expanded my knowledge on several aspects.
Here are a few random pics from the rebuild.

And the first chips!
The end result now looks like this.
Nice work. I wish I had space for a lathe. :(
ReplyDeleteLet's see what you do with it.
where did you find a replacement spindle speed and gear selection decal?
