Ontario member sound off

Well, it’s good to see there are some locals. I’m not on here much. I really don’t get much time but I check in from time to time. Thanks for all the returns.

How did you make out with your pulley repair on the Atlas lathe? Did you rebore and sleeve it, or go with a new (other) one?

Hey, I think I forgot to respond to some of you Gentlemen about a similar question a while back. ‍♂️ sorry about that.

I thought the double shiv on the counter shaft, was bent /warped. Well it was,, lol!, but so was the counter shaft, it was .010” out about the centre of the shaft. So I got a nice piece of 3/4” steel bar,, (of a decent quality, from my retired machinist cousin), which was the easiest way for me, as my lathe was feeling poorly. The only troublesome issue was cutting the key way. I even tried a Cape Chisel,, if I would’ve had a way to setup a jig or a guide to prevent me & my chisel from wandering off the straight lines,, I might’ve finished it that way .?? I ended up taking it to a machine shop, the guy took a couple bucks cash for a professional key way job.
Then I opted for grease nipples instead of the caps, to keep grease in the counter shaft bearings. This was pretty easy as I have a decent drill press, and all kinds of taps. After that, I put it together and it runs pretty smoothly, it might need some tweaking still,,
