Was sandwiched between some old junk trucks. Old guy, buddy of mine who's since passed, had it sitting in his junkyard under a tarp. I figure it's gonna be a real can of worms, or it might be easier than I think. Next will be refurbishing the cross feed thingy. I'm thinking the first thing, after fixing the transmission, will be shimming the tailstock. Suppose it's time to refurbish the thing, and get it running. Or some gear, don't remember.but I was able to order it from Clausing. Oh yeah Got an old Atlas Clausing lathe sitting next the milling machine. Learning to use it all is another matter Up till recently, all I've used the machine for is making holes, and face milling, with the odd slotting job occasionally. It's all been sitting in the tool box for years till now. Mostly looking, and guessing, what I might need one day. I picked up all the tooling when I bought the milling machine. You can do your machine work with a reasonable expectation that the stuff you're doing will match your replacement part.

Handy to know if you don't have all the original SERVICEABLE parts on hand, and have to purchase a replacement hub let's say. This particular assembly, as shown in the tables, has about a combined (shaft depth/depth in hub) tolerance of. The flat surface, parallel with the bottom of the cut, makes it a snap to pop your depth gauge on the piece, and check your required depth. What I truly appreciate, and now it makes perfect sense, ARE MEASUREMENTS FROM THE CHORD. It's so much easier, for me at least, to see it in black and white on a page, and go from there.

Hitting that precise land where cutter width is same as the cut is more than I trust myself to do. My eyes are old, and I don't trust them anymore. I recently "re remembered" The Handbook, and it solved all my problems.Ĩ08 cutter, the tables, and you're home free.no guesswork, or convoluted math. It's the same principle as The Handbook, which specs keyway depth below the cutter width chord. You'll never go back to edge finding for keys. You don't even need to know the shaft diameter. For most shafts it's more than accurate enough and if you measure it you'll likely be within a thou or so. I then use this depth as zero and use half the key height as my finish depth. I then line up the cutter and the cut by eye and lock the table. The edge finder method works but for keyways I normally run the cutter across the shaft taking light cuts until my cut width and the cutter diameter are the same. That ol' gal better get home, I got too much time on my hands Not slick, no commercials, just having fun (sometimes) So don't get yer undies in a bunch cause it isn't all posted here. Mostly done, but haven't put all the media crap together yet.
#Hesston 1014 specs mods
Still to go.wrench flats on the shaft, woodruff key on tapered end of shaft, installation with mods to place bearings in different places. I'm traveling down the same road as a lot of dooooods Just about everything I do is one off, and not that undoable if you approach it with a bit of thinking (which in my case, can get pretty wild ) Someone who's taking the road for the first time. I tend to put up stuff for the everyday guy. Give ya a little insight how my weird brain works The companion videos are a bit more coherent Gotta get around to uploading them. Only reason I got this far with the blog is cause K'kins is house sitting/dog sitting for her Mom, and isn't home Longest we've been apart in over 6yrs, and I'm not taking it well. I still haven't updated all the crap that's been done, but I have a lot of other stuff that's going on right now. Should get the thing out of the shop tomorrow, and in the field. Lot of this material has already been posted here, but there's some other stuff I didn't post.
