Unfortunately it's not a L series. It's an older thread on type

Yes it has a traditional screw spindle. Info on them says about later ones being L type. I'd imagine yours would be a L type?

Good evening

I have recently acquired a willson 7.5" lathe.From what I have been told its an earlier version with the 90 degree gear lever handles.

I am trying to find out more regarding the spindle fitting to the chuck backplate. The book for the lathe mentions 6tpi but no more. And i have managed to get the current 3 jaw and backplate off and the spindle measures 3.5 inches across. Would anyone here Know the thread type or even point me in the direction for another backplate or a 4 jaw chuck with a backplate, I'd also like to find a faceplate and a fixed steady.

I'm fairly novice to the lathe world so go easy on me

Many thanks

Matt
