Ok so I have a small spindle 13(1 7/8 thread). These lathes use 2a collets. I managed to find and purchase a lever collet closer, spindle protector, spindle adaptor, and a fairly large selection of collets that came off of a small spindle 10" lathe a while back. Now obviously the draw tube is too short, but that's a pretty easy fix. My problem is it did not come with a mounting arm and there is supposed to be an extended gear that would fit on the spindle to encase that woodruff key. Pretty sure I can just fab up a collar and press it on the spindle because there's enough room. Does anyone have a lever set up on a small spindle 13 that could shoot me a couple pictures of the spindle interface and the length of the mounting arm? I'm sure I could trial and error it and figure it out but just trying to save a headache.
