   I think someone used his lathe to assemble an alt...Maybe the center post was taken off, and the stator housing was bolted to that...And the rotor was suspended between the chuck and a live center.By cranking the appron toward the chuck it slides the alt togather....Its a real buger to put those things together.MelTx

For those of us with lathes that is probably a great idea. Thanks for mentioning it.
 I hadn't thought of doing that with mine.

Should be able to use the lathe lead screw basically as a jacking screw to carefully slide things together in a slow controled fashion with good adjustments with the cross slide too even. Maybe even pull them back apart again if needed.

Provided the lathe is strong enough for the work. Seen some I would not trust with a 16" daul rotor though. Might twist the bed.

I should have tried this with my last conversion, probably would have saved some sore fingers here.

Spelin and tpying are my strong points, not electronics.
