Rockwell Beaver 10" 46410 Lathe - Newbie

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows if a live center exists for a Rockwell Beaver 10" (36" bed) 46410? It was recently gifted to me by my father in law.

If anyone has any information on this particular model, like how to find parts for it, please let me know.

Hi Shawn:

I also have a Rockwell Beaver lathe and I am ALWAYS looking for things for it. Mine requires a live centre with a # 1 Morse taper. I suspect yours does as well but you may want to check. Mine is a 36" gap bed Lather also but the model number is 3400. I called Delta Tools and they sent me a photocopy of the Owner's manual. The # 1 Morse taper live centre is available in many places. I got mine from Lee Valley but you can probably get one from Busy Bee, KMS Tools, Harbor Freight or any of many other places. If you run across a small face plate (4 inches maximum) in your travels tell me, I am going to have one made if I don't find one soon.

Shawn, see if Lee Valley can give you some info , they used to carry parts like spur and cup center as well as a face plate for the Beaver lathe, but it's not in their latest catalog any longer.

Have fun and take care Leo Van Der Loo

Actually, it doesn't use a taper. The cup center screws on to the tailstock spindle. There's a picture of it here:

tried Busy Bee. They wished me luck :). Busy Bee supposedly has a 3" faceplate for $7.99 (reg $12.99) CDN. I tried to pick one up but they were sold out. They said they'd have more in around the end of April. 1" thread @ 8 TPI. This is from their Spring flier. I'm not sure if that's local/national/international, but this was at their store in Dartmouth, NS, Canada.

Thanks, Shawn

Hi Richard : At busybee they got a 6" faceplate at 17.99 cad that will suit you because the #3400 model has a 7/8" 14 tpi rh inside spindle shaft threading.(3/4 16tpi lh outside ,as you may know)

I bought myself a 10" face plate (Oneway and elsewhere than busybee)and had to buy an adaptor .It was not "inexpensive" as the 6" is(no adaptor needed).

At oneway , you may get a 4" faceplate but you'll have to ask a special threading to fit your 7/8 14tpi rh. But they ask 45.00 US for it threading not included. So I'm wondering if the 6" faceplate(at

18.00cad) would be o.k. for your needs. michel
