A Longbed Boxford Metric AUD of unknown parentage is following me home.
My Diabas(Dolerite) source-mine on our churchyard has a suitable 200*200*1000mm stone of known swedish origin.
https://imgur.com/a/BJnbQBottom stone will be used as foundation for a new upper class lathe brand named Roxford.
Saves it from being chrused as road material.
Away with tinplate and underdrive gear.
Rear motor,a short piece of of powertwist belt and a chineese converter.
Backgearig removed as well.
The Norton box will be kept for screwcutting but I will try to make a continiously variable electric feed rate screw.
I think Schaublin and Hardinge has had sush systems for years.
What happens when Main spindle suddenly stops due to overload or worse?
Is there some kind of automatic cut out of feed?
