TWS BL-1237S Question
« on: February 28, 2012, 02:37:57 PM »
Hello all.

My Grandpa has a 1981 TWS BL-1237S, and asked me to do some research and find him a manual for it online. Although I cant find any sort of manual for it..

His question is how to tighten up the "slop" or "play" in the head

 :coffee:

Thanks all,
Blake

It might help if you would tell us what type machine you need help with. Entering "1981 TWS BL-1237S" on Google returns nothing useful.

With that description, it maybe a variant of this LATHE. I imagine the manual is very close. MANUAL

Does it look sorta like this? Maybe different paint etc...

I believe the lathe Eric posted is a 12 X 36. I have been able to dig up a manual that can be downloaded for a 12 X 37, Belt Drive, lathe which may be a better match.

Blake look here to see if this one looks like the one your grandfather has.
