Tyme Avon Bowl Attachment

[columbiers]

Hi,

I have a Tyme Avon lathe, which I'd like to use to turn some bigger bowls/platters. To do so ideally I'd like to source the bowl turning attachment that bolts to the side of the bed, allowing the rest to be placed in position when the headstock is turned. I've had no luck on ebay- some lathes are sold with it but not on their own.
Does anyone have one for sale (unlikely I know!) Or does anyone have the dimensions so I can attempt to make one up?

Thanks

I would be tempted to buy a complete one off eBay and sell the rest on. or persuade a seller to split and re-list.

That would be brilliant, thank you. Yes it has 3 bolt holes under the motor.

They seem to go for £150+ on ebay- I don't really want that outlay plus the hassle and cost of fetching it- I really want to eithier find a separate one or make one up.

Here is a link to a home made one using box section steel.
I will probably go this way for my Tyme Cub.

Hi All,

very much in the same position as the original poster - newbie looking for a bowl attachment for a Tyme Pup. The link to the DIY version is really useful and that's probably the way I'll go but it has thrown up another question; in the photo you can see some kind of wooden jig attached to the lathe, could someone tell me what it's function is please.

Thanks and regards.

That would be great if you could please. I'm still looking for a bowl attachment.

I have photographed and dimensioned the attachment but it seems that it is not possible to upload through the forum. Give me your email address and I will send the info to you.

You need some more posts to be able to upload a photo.

I will be interested in your info. I still need to sort something out for my Tyme Cub.
