To-Do
Status | Item | Person Working on Item | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
closed | Should we replace hydraulic filter? It's not mentioned in the manual but it seems like something you may want to change? | Jim Brink | Per discussion Tuesday 5/29 we will top off resevoir and run as-is for a few months then replace oil |
Closed | Top off oil reservoirs, oil machine and follow maintenance in manual as far as I can tell all reservoirs should have ISO 68 (Way) oil. | Will wait until next maintenance cycle | |
Do we need some device to help lift chucks on removal ( they weigh approx 80#) a lightweight Harbor Freight hoist is about $70 | Sevin Strauss | Possible mount on rafters on the ceiling. but need to look for a hoist. | |
Taper attachment needs to be cleaned and tested | Abel Greenwald | ||
Level and check for taper | Sevin Strauss | Lathe is leveled but need to check for taper in a test cut | |
Any tooling needed? | Need 5/8" indexable cutting set | ||
in progress 6/10 | Tool post attachment? | Jim Brink | |
Hold | Do we want to fit a DRO? NOTE: the Cold metals budget is getting tight for this tool we may budget this in 2019 | Possibly put together a vote to finance this and the guard. | |
Do we want to fit cooling? | Ed Bennett | Spec out a pump system for Jim to purchase, Ed will install. | |
