The last time I was fortunate to have access to a lathe was in high school metal shop. And have always wanted one because I like many others enjoy tinkering and building things.
My uncle just gave me a lathe that is God knows how old. And I cant find any identifying marks on it.
Today I picked up some v pulleys and belts, got her spinning and tried to work some brass.
The chuck, is cracked and keeps loosening up mid run the place where I think a key would go is missing
Also the body that holds the output side onto the bed jumps a good 1/8-1/4 of jitters under load, I believe this is from the slop of the worn down cam on the lever that adjusts the headstock position in the bed.
Can someone help me identify this lathe so I can source a replacement chuck?
