DML 24X accessories... WHERE?

[jonrms]

I need and want a few bits for my lathe... just suddenly realised I would like more..

where is the best place to find them...

and its a 1999 model am I right in thinking that the thread on TPI is 3/4 dia by 16tpi?

That's the right thread size. What kind of things are you after ?

Most bits can be got from Toolpost, Axminster, Peter Childs, Turners Retreat etc if you google from them.

The other thing you may need to know, depending on what bits you are buying, is that the headstock and tailstock on that model take 1MT fittings (1 Morse Taper), that's the size the spindles are bored out to for drive/live centres.

Hope that helps.

Cheers, Paul

I have the 1mt mandrel for the pen kits I do... but I was after excuse my lack of terms when I write this..

a chuch for bowls and also a chuck that has a single screw in the middle... I got loads of bits but none fit.... I bought this lathe last year as a job lot and its fine.. but the only usefull thing it has is its face plate which isnt good for what I need... I need or really want a small screw chuck and one that opens up to hold the wood... in a O shape if that makes sense...

ahh 2 of those websites have what I am after... one is a small face plate with a screw in the middle.. the other is a bowl chuck... dang.. I might need to buy two of those and they are not cheap!!!! ie one for the bottom of the bowl and one for the inside to finish the bottom.... arrgh. oh well.
