2878 forum posts 248 photos | I have an ELLIOT quick change toolpost (S. 00 HB ???) fitted to my Boxford AUD lathe and am looking for some spare parts ie: 2 x clamping 'T' and 1 x eccentric clamp 'bolt' I am sure I have the wrong names for these pieces, but see the photo attached. All dimensions in inches. Anyone know where I could source the bits from. I have tried making the 'T' clamps but can't find a steel tough enough yet machineable (by me). I bought some spares some time ago (unknown source) but they are not the right size. Anyone want 2 x 'T' 0.615" dia with clamp bolt 0.400" dia Edited By Speedy Builder5 on 28/03/2013 10:30:13 |
