Last crawled date: 1 year, 9 months ago

This model illustrates the precise geometry to fabricate a Headstock and Back Splash Deflector, for the Hercus 260 Lathe, which is a 10' swing lathe. The Sliding Deflector Fame and Pane, are NOT designed as a Guard and/or Shield, Safety Glasses must still be worn. The design is simply to deflect most Chips and Cutting Fluid back to the lathe. The over all dimensions are 26' in height x 23 5/8' in width The geometry will be similar to a South Bend 10' lathe, and a Boxford Lathe. If you have the non extruded model, printed full size, you will have an exact Template from which you can make a Headstock Deflector. Try Switching the Camera view, to, 2 Point Projection, for the Life Size Version of the Template. Check the size of the printed version to ensure it's the correct size, as listed in the drawing. The extruded model shows the geometry for the motor housing, and the back splash. The Headstock and Back Splash Deflector, was made from 1/8' Door Skin, and coated with 3 layers of Gelcoat. The Chuck Key Hatch and Head stock removable panel is held in place using 1/8' x 3/4' x length steel flat plate, with #8 x 1/4' & 3/8' Flat Head socket style machine screws in stainless steel. The Chuck Key Hatch is held in place using 1' dia Rare Earth Magnets Use the layers window, to turn off and on various components, to help you understand the design. Best viewed with a 3D Connexion Space Navigator mouse. I will add more details as the days go by. #Boxford_Lathe #Lathe_Back_Splash_Deflector #Lathe_Enclosure #Lathe_Headstock_Deflector #Metal_Lathe
