Taig micro lathe gib

Hi good people. I have acquired a part assembled Taig mini lathe.
It has a few bits missing.
in particular the brass gib for the carriage is missing.
I have spoken to the UK supplier who said he will find out if can get a spare one to sell me.

in the meantime I plan on 3d printing one as a stop gap.

could someone point me in the right direction where I may find the dimensions of this gib.

i know a plastic gib won’t last long but surely will suffice to help get the lathe setup.

thanks.

You want Delrin or Acetyl , but if you can get Turcite / Tercite/ not sure of spelling, is the best material. I have a gib but can't measure it tonight, but will get dimensions tomorrow for you if no one replies before hand.

looking at mine and measuring in situ its brass and 1/4' x 3/16 with the dovetail angle machined on one of the 3/16 edges. when you say you have spoken to the uk supplier, which one?. As far as I know there is the original man who came to the shows but I believe rotagrip are now involved and there is an educational company that sells them to schools in the cnc versions.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I would appear my carriage maybe a different model.
looking at these pictures.
On the Taig website the exploded diagram of the lath shows a different shape to the gib.
thoughts on how best to proceed.

Here is the whole assembly

It’s the Rotagrip company I contacted.

Can't assist with your version of this lathe, but to clarify, my 1985 Peatol/Taig (made in U.S) has a different design of Gib.

Hope you get the issue sorted.

Regards

Many thanks. I’ve decided to order the new carriage from Rotagrip. It will save some headaches.

That looks pretty simple to me, just a bit of brass strip with an angle filled on to it!

The bed on mine is steel and the saddle aluminium
