Hi everyone,
Tuesday I drove up to Cincinnatti and picked up a 15" Regal Roundhead and the taper attachment clamp is missing. Would anyone be able to provide me with any good pictures and critical measurements so I can attempt to make one? I can cobble something up without them but I'd like it to look as close to factory as possible.
Roger at LeBlond provided me with the manufacture date of 1944, and the machine was originally sold to Buckles Machine Works in Cincinnati. I purchased it from C.W. Wood Machine.
It's the only LeBlond Regal I've seen in person with the clutch mechanism at the input shaft to the headstock.
This lathe was made the same year my father was born, which makes it special in it's own way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
ETA: If anyone has any information or pictures of Buckles Machine works I'd be very interested. Google isn't turning up very much.
