I have a pdf copy of the file but it's about 4meg so would probably need your email address to send it to.

Just to make life interesting, I'm not sure that Woodfast used the same specs for overseas lathes as the home ones (Australia). I believe the ones sold in the USA as Rikon were different.

 

[JWD]

they were indeed! but i can use the information to help regardless!

Jim, you're a lifesaver - thankyou!

Do you have this lathe?

View attachment Changing Woodfast Bearings.pdfMine is a fair bit older than yours but does the job still. I think the date of manufacture is under the headstock on the bed. Thanks for the offer anyway.

My uncle married a woman from Lancashire!
When I was a kid in Yorkshire I remember people moving in to a cottage in the next village. The front door had an ornamental iron rose on it. There was much adverse comment when they painted it red.
Mind you I've lived in Australia over fifty years now but...
