RE: [gingery_machines] Re: 8020 bed was: epoxy granite was: outsourcing the bed scraping

 

If you search the archives for postings with my name you'll find a number
of postings I made some years ago on the subject of the relative
relationships of the Gingery dimensions.

The small section lathe bed on the Gingery was designed to fit the casting
capabilities of the 1 quart or #6 crucible. But it's totally wrong for a
7" lathe. It's one of the weak points of the design. Way too much flex.
The 2" square 8020 wouldn't be much better.
