Hello,
I'm new and inexperienced but was given the above lathe by a competent woodturner who had upgraded.
However as a precursor to having a serious go, I decided to try a few things to get used to the lathe.
I noticed the drive belt is v worn and is specified as "v" belt 0-710 and have had no success in finding a replacement.
In addition the headstock is fitted with the spur-centre and I was hoping to fit a different chuck (masterchuck II) which I have.
Anyone advice how I get the spur-centre off/ The manual says to undo the hex-nut anticlockwise and this releases the spur-centre but on mine it doesnt, just the nut clockwise and nothing anticlockwise. It undoes either the pulley retaining bolt or the seemingly functionless hex nut on the business side of the headstock.
Anyone tell me what I am doing wrong please?
Many thanks.
P.S. I have the manuals for both the lathe and chuck if anyone needs a copy ?
