Thread: new lathe ...can someone identify it?
05/03/2012 20:15:34

ive got the lathe at home now and it actually doesnt seem that bad, the play in the bearings is very minimal, i cant get the chuck to open tho it doesnt have a square key hole like a conventional one, how did the standard chucks on these operate?

i know its a long shot but are there any other old lathes with compatible change gears? or someone who makes replacements or knows where to get hold of parts for old lathes like this?

thanks again ..youve all been very helpfull so far!

the headstock bearings are pretty worn ..would any body know whether its better to have plain bronze bearings or upgrade to a new roller bearing system?

thanks

thanks guys im inclined to agree with maybe bonds maximus but will keep looking

i havent picked it up yet but bought it to use to build/ modify my own lathe if it cant be got working ...but for 25 quid it was worth it even if i only end up using the odd bit off it
