Thank You Mr Poole ,

Yes , you are correct ..I have just checked the lathe and the bearing housing is cast with the bed .

This is the first time I have studied the lathe .

It is in running condition .

I shall try to attach pictures .

Could You please explain the procedure for uploading pictures ?

I have just replied to Your email with pictures attached as I cannot upload them to the site ?

Thank You in advance,

Steve..

Hello Members ,

I have just registered for this very interesting site . mainly due to My interest in all things mechanical & in particular in the hope of help & guidance in recomissioning My "Bonds Maximus" lathe ?

Apparently this is a "Portass" model , one of the headstock bearing housings has broken at some stage and been repaired by welding ..I am hoping to eother find a replacement or have a new one machined please ? I am a complete novice , never having used a lathe but have had this one for many years & would love to see it working again .

Thank You ,

Steve ..
