Craftsman lathe spindle

[Paul Douglass]

I have a friend with a Craftsman lathe and he would like to know what the spindle size a threads are. It's a model 113.23850 the kind with the tube rail. I think it is 3/4" but don't know the threads. Sears Parts didn't tell me.

Thanks

Paul - mine is a 3/4" x 16

And it's a #1 morse taper for both the headstock and the tailstock.

Thanks for the info. While I'm finding out this info, he ordered a new Nova 1624 like I have and a chuck to go with it. That's one way to get a chuck! Congrats to him, I know he will like it.
