A photo of said lathe would be useful

Thanks, ordered some metric ones from them today.

Hi John, It would be easier to have ones with imperial threads, being at direct replacement if at all possible,if not I'll use the metric ones, and work round it.

Doing my on going renovation of the chipaster,I'm now in need of 2 motor mount anti vibration pads.

I've emailed a company in the USA **LINK** who have as near as I can make out, are as near to the originals with 1/2" unc threads, waiting for a response(hopefully) unforunately some US companies won't ship to the UK for some reason.

Part No 5025H13U25 **LINK**

Does anyone know of any other suppliers at sensible money?

Thanks

Please do the chap whose going to cut it,and work in metric.

Thanks for the replies.

Is the "Newton Tesla variable drive." a much better unit than of other makes? more £ than I was hoping to spend?.

What size pulley did you fit on the motor?

I'll be sticking with a 3 phase motor

1967 Metric model.

Going to remove the variator,not sure what RPM motor to use to maintain the widest speed range,I'm not so bothered about the the high RPM.

The old motor was a 1740 RPM,I'm uncertain if the variator would have geared up the RPM to the headstock.
