hello
I've just bought my first lathe - I have no experience so went for a cheapie but goodie: a coronet/record CL0. What is the morse taper for the headstock, anyone know? I want to replace the screw with a prong drive. Thanks in advance.
 
It's a small lathe, I would be very surprised if it's not a No.1.
I don't know the lathe, but smaller Records usually have solid spindles so make sure you use the thread protector or you'll have a sod of a job getting the drive centre out again.
 
Hi Phil
Thanks very much; I've ordered the manual from store.Lathes which will hopefully be of some use. I've not dismantled a lathe before, so I'm not quite sure of how to go about things yet. There was some doubt regarding taper in another post, hence this one. So I'm sure I'll know for sure tomorrow or the next day when it arrives. :)
 
If you look in the Turning Section you will find a Help Sticky at the top of the listings, there is a link there to Morse taper dimensions.
