22 years ago I purchased 1950's J+L turret lathe from Dept of Defense
the saddle/carriage had been removed and cnc slant bed retrofit placed
4.5 inch spindle thru hole
included was hydraulic bar feed with passive-slave chuck which
mounted into headstock bracket with 3 in bar stock
for past 22 years machine has occupied shed--never used
and the slave chuck oxidizing in underbrush
but now lathe is needed to machine 4 inch driveshaft for fire truck conversion
so I am in process of slave chuck teardown
pics illustrate 7 inch j-l turret machine which is otherwise identical to the
4-1/2 inch machine I reference
