Emco star machine spare parts

[Luna]

Hi, So I was using the Emco star lathe, I had a bit of an accident and the tool rest clamp snapped. I'm struggling to find a replacement. Can anyone give me any help or info please, it would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck with your search. I would be tempted to try and fabricate one out of steel, as the cast aluminium (?) doesn't seem to have been up to the job.

Thank you, i hope to come across something, I might see if I can find someone to weld it, if all else fails, but it will be very tricky as its cast aluminium alloy, need ti find a tig welder, but might be the only option.
