G'day all, from Australia,
Wondering if anyone might be able to provide directions to remove the back plate from a 1950 Colchester Triumph Lathe. It looks like an externally threaded spindle bore. I have assumed that it is a right hand thread. I have obtained manuals from England however they do not go back to 1950 or show external threads that I could at least use as a reference guide, they all show internal Morse tapered spindles. I would like to fit a four jaw chuck and to do this will have to make a new back plate to suit. But not if I can't get the existing back plate removed. All advice appreciated.
