Beautifully skilled work, John! Those would beautifully adorn any dining room. Thanks for posting them.
Congrats Richard!
That is good info to know. Thanks Mike!
I paid $699 for mine new. Is it in good shape? Can you give it a test run? It is a fair deal, and if it’s in good shape, likely not a risk. Make sure the fwd/rev switch and the power switch...
Hi Doug! Glad you’re still kickin’! I have also taken a bit of a break from turning, due to being busy, and taking care of family issues, etc. I’m also in welding school, have not yet retired,...
Wonderful work Bruce! Another high end piece that shows great creativity and fine execution of skills and details.
I had that identical model as my first lathe. It is not a reeves drive, but a gear driven spindle. The manufacturer [Palmgren] changed over to a reeves drive on the second year Sears offered that...
I’m going to check with some steel suppliers within about a 100 mile area from me, and see if I can’t get the rod I need. Fortunately, I only drilled a 3/4” hole in two of the many parts I cut out,...
I ran into a snag on this build. The 3/4” bar I wanted wasn’t available from McMaster-Carr when I got materials, but they had a 3/4” galvanized, so I got them. Turns out the 3/4” diameter was...
I went with the Miller Multimatic 215. Multi process for stick, mig, flux core, aluminum, tig, and got a Spoolmate 150 to do aluminum if needed. I might get a Miller 255 at some point as well.
I have most of the parts cut for the assembly now. I have to drill the holes on the supports, lifting cam, etc. I need to get some bolts, washers and nuts for the casters, and axle from the...
Good to hear, Ted. You have the G0800, correct? What happened to make your lathe have issues? Thunderstorms, power surge, big catch?
Back home now, and hope at least to get started in the next few days. Got some major lawn work to do though, rains and high temps while away have gotten the lawn looking a bit like a hayfield! ...
Well, no joy quite yet on building these LL&R bases. Had to take a trip out of town for a family situation, and had to get the garden planted, and regular work duties and such. Now, it looks like...
. Thanks so much, Mike…this drawing really is helpful!
Thanks Robert, much appreciated. I got my casters yesterday, and now just need some time to work on these. I also have some tie down rings coming in tomorrow to weld on one of my trailers. ...
Robert and Mike….what is the total length of your main angled supports [the ones with the 45 degree angle]? Measured along the centerline of the piece?
I currently use a 7-1/4" circular saw with a Diablo "Steel Demon" blade, and have a portaband mounted on a Swag table in verticle orientation for small parts. I also have a plasma cutter, so at...
Robert, you & Mike have me chomping at the bit to get to making my units. I got a Miller Multimatic 215, and have welded a couple of steady rests already, and done some repairs on a friends...
I will likely take you up on your offer here, as I have ordered the steel for the fabrication for both my lathe LL&R units. Perhaps, I might send you a private message, and we could exchange a...
Thank you much for this detailed info, Robert…. It is much appreciated!
I’ve been searching thru pics of the LL&R mobility system. I have the metal working/welding skills, but need info on parts, sizes, angles, etc. I want to fabricate two sets, one for my G0800 and...
Decelerate with your speed control knob slowly with that much inertia on the spindle. You over ran the inverters program for deceleration. Always use the speed knob instead of the stop button or...
. Not sure Robert, but I would guess around 30 lbs. +/- a pound or two. It is all steel construction, and very sturdy with the 12 guage steel in the arms, 3/16” thick steel flange ring and base.
