Being a full time plumber I decided to combine work with my new found love of woodwork !

Was just starting to think the same thing.....

The problem I have is the bearing/adjuster has broken up and also spins when lathe is on so makes it useless, I am also struggling to find another lathe with same set up to see if I can use parts from a different brand.

On a different subject I have same issue as another member in that the variable speed adjuster is pretty much useless, I was wondering is there a way to possibly fit step pulleys ? Or if there is a kind of all round speed I could try to set it to ?

After your suggestions I've now taken a different approach and have hopefully ordered the correct parts I need ! Will update when they arrive. Thanks again

Thankyou for prompt reply I have a hilta 900 lathe

Evening all, as stated in title I am new to the world of wood lathes. The problem I'm having is I'm after a 4 jaw chuck for my lathe which has a 3/4 shaft. So far I'm drawing a blank as to what I need as the one's I have looked at require back plates. I've a rough understanding but obviously not...

Did you ever find a replacement part ? I also need same part.
