The chuck was aiming for that ankle when it unscrewed itself, so it tried. As one of the cute ER nurses said, I was having fun when it happened.
I do have belt sizes now, two 30" and one 31", so that's something. I bought a 2MT live center for the tail stock and 3MT dead center so I can do longish shafts if I want. Still looking for the Maintenance Manual. I would like to find a 3 jaw self centering chuck for it, along with dogs, a face plate for the dogs, and a steady rest, but that's not a rush. After 90 years, the threading gears have gone bye-bye, but I can't ever see me cutting threads on it. And most threading I do is metric anyway.
