All,
Since you all helped out earlier, http://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=106845, I hope you can help me on my next dilemma. I have posted over at the Old Wood Working Machines forum, http://owwm.org/viewtopic.php?t=53300&highlight=, but have had no luck yet.
I have found out that my Driver Line lathe, model L30, has a 5/8"x18tpi spindle. I can only find parts to fit either 3/4"x16 or 1"x8. So now I come to the issue. If I want to use it for pens I need to have a mandrel to fit. So I am looking to see if anyone has had a similar issue and what was done to fix it? My only thought is to have a bushing milled to the size/thread I need.
Thanks
