So you can extract it without bashing it out the back , not sure I will need the nut though if using a drive plate etc because it won't fit on with the nut.

I was just thinking that. Good idea. Why would you use it in the head stock?

Other than buying a lump of ali yesterday to complete a project for a mates grandson, I haven't spent lately after getting carried away when Arc Euro closed a while back. The Barclaycard took a hit about three times in one week, but a case of grab it while you can.

Can I ask what power source you are using to run the lathe ? I thought these were 3 phase motors .

My Boxford has a single phase 240v motor.

The ex school lathes are normaly 3 phase but you can change the motor.

 

[123hotchef]

My boxford is also 240v single phase
