Lathe tailstock locking mechanism is broken #100

Closed Sproketti closed 9 months ago

Sproketti commented 9 months ago

The locking mechanism for lathe tailstock is broken and there is a bolt currently in place to keep the machine usable.

The bolt in the mechanism is hold in place by pin that breaks easily if too much force is applied. I fixed this a couple of months ago, but did not have time to take care of it right now.

Is there a need to make stronger mechanism or is this weak pin in place by design to protect other parts of the lathe?

I'm guessing it is to protect other parts (or the threads).

Not sure if these would work https://www.puuilo.fi/hercules-putkisokka-nippelisarja (I will bring a set anyway)

Sproketti commented 9 months ago

I was thinking the same. I have those pins in my smartstore box if someone wants to tackle the issue before I have time.
