Hi guys,
I am trying to gather some information about a lathe for my grandfather (and I know nothing).
He recently was given parts of a lathe belt drive 6” Centre Height. This machine is one of four lathes that was used in the annex for war products by B.H.A.S. Pty Ltd Port Pirie, South Australia during 1939-1945 war. What I need is if possible you may have or may know where I may get the following:
1. He has the apron (no gears in it). It has the knob control in it. A round slide unit for feeds
2. A gear box
3. Also the gears for drive from headstock to gear box
4. also the rack for movement of saddle
5. tail stock (if possible)
6. information on lead screen diameter and threads per inch
I would be grateful if you could help me in anyway- we are located in Adelaide, but i could definitely buy some pieces online.
I've also attached an image that my grandpa says is very similar to the lathe he has...
Thanks so much in advance!
