Drilling headstock in a Record lathe

Dec 05, 2003 1 Replies

Has anyone on here every drilled the headstock of a Record CL 2,CL3, or CL4 all the way thru so you can use a knock out bar or a draw bolt?



I love my Record but that is one of my few gripes about it. Just like to hear from anyone that may have done it or tried before I try it.

I take it that you are refering to drilling through the spindle ? I would contact the manufacturer, Record, and ask them this question. There might be a reason why they havent already done this. Perhaps it could weekin the spindle. Jim
