Re: Boring on the lathe
That looks to be a "EVERREDE" boring bar. They use that triangle style insert . Still got a couple of those bars left over from my tool sales. If I remember right MSC has those inserts.

Re: Adding Weld to a shaft?
Replace or plate ! Anysort of weld buildup would be a last resort repair as no parts available and need to use machine NOW .

Looks like a rabid mouse has been chewing on that piece of material.

Re: Logan 200 Headstock Bearing Question
More likely to use oil. Go to Vintage machainery and see if they don't have some litature for that lathe.

Re: Enco 100-1527 riser
Had the same issue re clearance ,had to open up the head end . I did not see any ill effects from the extra clearance on the base side. About the only time I ever moved/rotated the head/ram was to do work off the edge of the table. Like changing the bolt pattern on a car axle.

Little known fact older BPs had 1/2X12 pitch bolts used for the spider. And depending on who made that mill for ENCO and what they copie...

Re: Bridgeport clone J head problems
Nobody ever oils that cam ring! Try some penetrating oil in the cam ring slots. I had to repair several BP type mills for that shifting sleeve being stuck when I was helping at my dealer friend's shop. A couple of them I had to pull the motor and and take the top cover off to free up the sleeve the ...

Re: What type of belt?
Well a lot of South Bend lathes had a V groove pully on the motor and a flat sheeve on the countershaft. Seemed to work well enough on the 2 SB lathes that I had !

Re: My new-to-me Jet 1236PS junky lathe
The one set screw in the center of the gib is to lock the cross slide if needed. On most of the Chinese lathes they also have a simular locking screw on the compound slide.
