Good evening All.

I wonder if there is any body out there that can help me.

I have recently been given a Stark no.4 lathe which has seen much better times. The bedway and tail stock look original, although the barrel lock thread casting is broken, the head stock casting looks undamaged but I think that at some point the spindle, which holds a Burnerd 3" 4 jaw chuck, has been re'manufactured as it is not hollow. The cross slide, top slide and tool post are sturdily home made.

I would like to breath some life back into this old lathe and relearn the gentle art of swarf production, the last time I used a lathe was at college in the late 1960's.

I would like to use the tail stock but it seems that the taper is not mt1, mt2 being too big. I know from reading the web that there are many types of taper but it seems that to use the tail stock I will need an adapter. can anyone help please

Cheers.

Steve.
