Certainly an interesting option, Brian. It certainly would give me the opportunity to forgive my press seeing it was that which was at fault....ahem...

Ian, I see there is actually a machine for sale in Cambridge (not far from me) at the moment. Sale end is Monday so I will see what price it goes up to and see where to go from there; at least that will give me a few spare parts etc. Many thanks for your offer.

Hello John, I went to Machine Mart, I believe they sent me on to Clarke.

Hello Ian, it's safely filed in the shed at the mo, will get it out and take measurements.

It's a Nutool 37-2, it's the same as the Clarke 37" woodworking lathe; I believe the Nutool became the Clarke at some point because I was sent in Clarke's direction when seeking a replacement part.

I wanted to change the bearings on my woodworking lathe...

I decided to use my 12 ton press to remove the bearings, unfortunately I didn't realise there was a 'shoulder' (for want of a better word) on the spindle at one end and the bearing would only come off one way, I was trying to go the other way, after a few tons of 'she'll move soon you know'...I realised my mistake.

I cannot find a replacement anywhere, it's an old lathe. Would anyone know where I might get a new one made as a one off for reasonable price, or of course, would anyone here be able/willing to help?

Would appreciate the help because I really like the style of lathe and would rather fix than dump...

Regards, Rob
