Spanners & cutters

On the left are some of the original small items supplied as standard with every lathe. Later on under the ownership of George Adams many items such as traveling steadies were listed at extra cost.

The pin & hook spanners are used on the mandrel for adjusting the bearings and for the locknuts when changing the worm on the indexing spindle.

The keyed spacers are listed in the Pittler catalogues as supplied with every lathe but usually get lost, these are to make small adjustments to make sure the gear wheel aligns correctly with the worm.  The largest one has a threaded bronze ring to make slight adjustments where needed.
