Ive been working on the various bits and pieces Ive got stuck here and
there..and its now time to fix up the old Crozier speed lathe Ive got.

Its the one with the spindle hole straight through the motor, 2 speed

Anyone got a download of the manual for it that I could get?

I thought the motor was bad..but after removing the bits on both
ends..it spins freely...so I need to figure out what the last owner did
wrong.

Thanks!

Hey Gunner!
While I did look at the pictures (web link by next poster) I still don't
quite know what a "speed lathe" is.

What's the highest and best use for this tool?
Trying to learn.
Thanks,

When Crozier Machine built its first Speed Lathe, the phrase had not yet
been coined. Crozier called its machine the SPEEDY Polishing Lathe. It
remained that way for 5 years until the Speed Lathe label was first
used. It was a very speedy machine to use and very easy to operate.s

The Crozier Speed Lathe is used in a variety of industries for many
second operations. You can deburr, grind, sand, polish, turn, lap and
assemble. Anything that can be held in a collet, can be worked on. Many
people have used the Speed Lathe as a building block to build custom
machines for their applications.

Think of it as a portable deburring and polishing station.

The 2ABPL is what I have. First picture on the above page.

It has a 5C collet closer built in and one can stick parts through the
motor and clamp it, and then spin it at 2 different speeds, so one can
deburr, polish, etc etc. Ive also seen them used as live tooling on
milling machines, etc etc. Pretty big handful. They weigh about 50-65
lbs though.

Thanks but they dont have manuals for the old version that I have.

Been there, checked that, first thing.

But much obliged anyways.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
