pat stanush I recently bought a 11" Rockwell and pulled the spindle as part of the cleanup. I found the grease in the front bearings grease to be caked and old with a lack of oil. I suggest that you replace the spindle grease before your run it . I removed my reeves drive and installed a 2 hp 3 phase motor direct to the spindle belts with a 2 to 1 ratio. This , with a vfd included, works beautifully.

Thanks for the comment Pat. I have greased it until it pushed old grease out and I will do it again after some run time. The old grease in mine was not dried out yet or contaminated. I had the same idea about removing the clunky reeves drive! I would be interested to see what you did! Could you post a simple/short video or send me some pictures?

That taper attachment is a rare treat for these lathes. I have a couple 11's myself. Mine didn't need much, just cleaned up. Hard to find that back gear though. They all have broken teeth. That was a rare one indeed. Most of these lathes were in High schools and kids would turn that front handle which locks in the backgear... chipping the teeth.

@johnmcclain44795 жыл бұрын
I think you once asked why the back ( Outboard ) bearing always fails. I believe it is because both bearings are journal bearings and there is no or little thought put into addressing axial thrust. Usually you only find a spring shim behind one of the bearings and this isn't sufficient to handle the thrust from energizing the motor, which acts like a huge solenoid that spins. When you get up to speed, the axial thrust evens out. If the OB bearing was replaced with a tapered roller bearing, this might help. Might make an interesting experiment.

Rockwell 11" are good lathes only weak part is the back gear teeth are a little weak and if used to removing the L00 collar one might break them gears off.
@BurtonsAttic4 жыл бұрын
Yeah I've read that gear is really the only weak link on these machines. Shame too as it's a really nice gear, wide pattern and helical. I have done what you described before with no issue but I also don't over tighten the lock collar. I have gotten into the habit of just bumping the pin wrench handle with a dead blow and the lathe in direct drive. The spindle will move a little but the belt tension provides enough drag to allow the collar to come loose with two bumps of the wrench. Once the collar is loose the chuck comes off easy by hand. Thanks for commenting.

Brilliant job it’s going to be a great machine by the look of how it’s going so far, one question though your rust remedy is looking fantastic but I would be concerned about it continuing to rust between the lathe and the cabinet do think it will be ok. Great job so far Alan.
@BurtonsAttic5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Alan! Very observant, there is a small gap between the bed and the base because of the leveling screws. I slide some sandpaper between the two and blew it out until no more debris came out and then rinsed it and blew it dry. I'm sure that there is still some minor rust present. Once moisture is removed for the equation the rust process pretty much stops, it had standing water in the chip tray before. When I start using it I will shoot some oil in the gap to remove air from the equation as well. That should stop any more rust from forming.

@7:45 " Do you know how hard it is to index a square to a circle in free space? " I thought about this and came up with this method. Easier to do than describe because the word "square" gets used as both a tool, and a geometric figure. What to do: Draw a small square just enclosing your circular hole, with a big X drawn through its corners, and extending outwards. Place your cover with its corners on the big X. Lay out your bolt holes as required. Why this works: This smallest enclosing square has the same center as the circle. Since diagonal lines drawn through opposite corners of this square intersect at the center, any square whose corners are placed on these diagonals will share the same center. They will also have parallel sides, so set up this minimal enclosing square so that its sides are parallel to the sides, top and bottom of the cabinet. The top and bottom sides need to be drawn horizontal and touching the circle at its top most and bottom most points. The left and right sides need to be drawn vertical and touching the circle at its left most and right most points. Use any way of achieving this alignment. A framing square or even a torpedo level might work. I tried this using the bottom of a spray can for the circle, and the corner of an envelope for my square. It works. I hope this was clear.

@rotattor5 жыл бұрын
nice clean up job, can't wait to see the rest. I'm wondering if the bed ways and slides need to be scraped after removing all that rust ? also how did you spec the VFD to the motor ? thanks,Robin.
@BurtonsAttic5 жыл бұрын
Thanks Robin! I know scraping is all the rage but I see no evidence that Rockwell did so on this machine. I think most would say that higher quality machines are scraped in. Not saying it couldn't use it but I just don't feel the need. Scotchbrite doesn't remove cast iron in the manner that I'm using it so in removing the rust I'm just taking it down to the original surface. Their is some very minor etching on the ways in a few places but that is below the surface so I'm not too concerned about it. Natural scraping/oil pockets? Their shouldn't be any high spots except for tooling damage/nicks. If their is it's easy to spot and address. As for the VFD the motor is 2HP and the VFD is 3HP. "They" say that you should always over rate the VFD. Never put a smaller rated VFD on a larger motor as that will cause smoke to be released. Over rating the VFD is only really a problem if your way over driving a normal not inverter rated induction motor. As long as your using it in a "normal" manner it shouldn't be a problem. I personally wouldn't go more than 1HP over what the motor is rated for on the VFD.
