Hello, A nice overview of the modification... Thanks for sharing. Take care. Paul,,

Glad to have you back

Very nice , I miss your vids .. Hope to see your projects more , ENJOYED !!

Excellent mods on that machine RP....

Always a pleasure to see a video from RP! Dig the mods.

Excellent mods!

I just picked one of these up in dang near brand new condition off market place for $200 lol. J2550, I do woodworking so it’s way overkill but couldn’t beat the price

Hope its not another year before you post again I enjoy your channel,

Hi RP, Very nice job on the mods you did there. Do you manufacture those handles with the steel balls and locking mechanism so i can order those? I just bought the same model 2550. If you do pls provide a link of your site? thank you!

Good Stuff.

If you get a tapping head like a procurier, they are surprisingly affordable on eBay, you won't need reverse. It does so automatically and once you've used one for a bit, it's quite a nice luxury; no more broken taps

@RPMechanics , it's very instructive sir ,thanks. I have almost the same machine (made in 1992). Can you tell me the cone size of the new mandrel you installed ? I have trouble measuring mine Thank you (sorry , english is not my native language )

Where did you get the spindle lock?
