Top-slide degree rotation scale

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Above and below: the very high quality of construction is clearly evident in these photographs of the power-cross-feed gearing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unusually long (and hence slow-wearing) top slide bronze nut

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sheet metal strip was used to protect the feed screw from swarf and dirt

As on all screwcutting Carstens lathes backgear (for slow speeds) was by epicyclic gearing built into the largest diameter of the headstock pulley

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twin V-belts brought the drive up from the stand-mounted speed-change countershaft

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The front of the spindle was shaped for the direct fitting of draw-in collets

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10-speed (with backgear) multi-V-belt countershaft unit using a Z-section (10 mm wide) belt. Final drive was by twin A-section (13 mm) belts
