Phase One Excelsior Mini Lathe
Beat on the end of the spindle and hand wheel. Then I found out about the reverse threading
Phase two
Well it does seem that the hand wheel is reverse threaded. I took it off with a little heat and two pipe wrenches. So now I am really afraid to beat on the end of the spindle. Knocking a threaded spindle really isnt a good thing is it? I am thinking that emailing Rockler about this lathe in the morning. I wonder if they will be able to provide the information.
But if you have any suggestions on how to do this I would appreciate it?
Phase three
Go to the PSI website. Get the turncraft pro manual and following the directions. mmm the lathes look almost idential. And the directions worked. Some things you just gotta learn for yourself.
