I don’t know the part number but I am looking for a dead center that will match the internal taper of my 16 inch 1959 lathe l00 spindle. I believe the same one was used on the 13 and maybe even some 10 inch lathes. Does anyone have one that they would be willing to sell?

Regards,
Barry

what you really want is the SB spindle sleeve that accepts standard MT center.

The sleeve is part# CL205H and CL205L- I suspect you want the latter which accepts MT3 centers...the former takes MT2

Yes, MT3 would be best since then I could reuse the accessories I already have for the tailstock. Thanks for the info.
Anyone got one of those sitting in a toolbox?

If your lathe has a taper attachment you could make one fairly easily.

I've made a few of these and sold them on ebay and here. If you're interested, I can make one for you in MT3 for you.

Are these sleeves supposed to be hardened? Cutting the taper would maybe be possible for me with much futsing around with the taper attachment to transfer the internal taper and I guess the same it true of the MT3 taper but hardening is probably a bridge too far for me right now.

SLK001, did you harden the sleeves you made before?

I bought a couple and can confirm they are nice, in case anyone is wondering. I do believe the L-00 dimensions are slightly different than the D1-4 though.

I have a L-00 sleeve (not for sale) if anyone needs dimensions.

No, I don't harden the sleeve. I don't have the equipment to deal with the distortion from the hardening (tool-post grinder). With a decent fit, I don't see a need for a hardened sleeve. If anything "spins" while mounted, I would rather the sleeve absorb the damage as opposed to the spindle. I've been using my sleeves for a couple of years with no issues.

Thanks for that endorsement. The L-00 sleeve is the same sleeve as the threaded spindle sleeve (SB# CL205H). Only the D1-4 sleeve is different (it is longer so that it sticks out beyond a face plate).
