I've found a 1942 18 CBB for an amazing price and I'll be buying it this week. The problem is it's missing the top portion of the compound (the horizontal cross slide and swivel) and I think it's also missing the lead screw, no chuck, but pretty sure it's D1-6, which I can probably find somewhere.
I'm not against fabbing my own parts for this, but was wondering if anyone knew where I could acquire originals, if they're impossible to find, some advice on fabbing them would be appreciated too.
This is my first "real" machine so I'm pretty new to this, advice on getting the lathe up to snuff is appreciated as well.
Any and all help welcome, thanks in advance.
