I’m new to the group. Just bought a used, Prazi SD300.
Looking for any advise on this machine. It was used, but in like new condition. Unfortunately all the accessories were lost in the owners move. I had to make wrench for the chuck. I just ordered a live center and a MT1 Drill Chuck.
I’m going to motorize the table feed with a gear motor I just purchased from Surplus Center.
I’d like to find a set of threading gears if they are available.
Has anyone figured out a way to add half nuts and an apron handwheel? Seems like this is all it is lacking.
Lastly, what are folks doing about vibration showing up on the finished work. I get some real strange patterns on aluminum stock I’m turning from the overall vibration of the lathe.
Thanks!
