Boxford Lathe Serial Numbers
I went out for lunch a few days ago with the guys from work and I was chatting about my machining - a guy comes up to me at the end and says I have a lathe sat at the back of my garage, it was his brothers and has lots of tooling with it. He said, if I wanted it, it was mine - he would be glad to get it out of the way. Anyway, I want to visit yesterday and it turns out it a Box-ford Model 'A' lathe - looks in great shape for the age. I have taken home all the tooling (I`ll post a message later to show what came with it) and I am picking the lathe up on Friday night. The timing couldn`t have been better after stomping out of the workshop in a temper a few nights ago after blowing 5 uses on my clarke cl300m stalling it trying to screw cut 12TPI in mild steel!
This bigger lathe should really help me along - and the little n` is just primed for CNC`ing I`ll keep you posted with some pics later on - just needed to get the excitement off my chest!! John, yes your correct and understand how the hand turning will reduce the pressure on the gearing. Can`t wait to get the boxford at home - seems in good condition as well for the age. Crew-Cabin - mine looks similar to that but the gearing box is switched around, so the A,B,C, D select is on the left and the table with the screw TPI is on the right. Anyway - found a few minutes to open up all the boxes that contained the tooling with this lathe - I don`t know what half of it is, so if anyone would like to enlighten me, I would be very grateful!! This picture shows the accessories that came with the lathe - why is such a wide range of jaws needed?
Also what is the part to the bottom left with the gear on one end and a dial on the other? I guess the long flat one is a tool rest? This is all the tooling: Are these just drills? The one on the left is massive!! Taps and dies - now all the other bits look clean and like new but these are really rusty - can they be cleaned up, they feel sharp just have surface rust, or are they only fit for the bin? Reamers and a few end-mills?
Top box is full of watch makers small tools - reamers, drills, tiny collets. Bottom box is full of what looks like tiny cutters for the lathe - I am unsure how they would be used???? The rest of the bits that also came - spanners, allan keys.and also many unidentified tools Sorry, lots of pics but if you can identify or give advice then it would be appreciated. Also, please tell me if this is too old and fit for the bin - does tooling wear?
