Lathe questions??

[Al Smith]

To the above machinery brokers from all over the USA sometimes would converge on the larger auctions .These were big time operators taking bids over cell phones .Stuff went high .However the smaller job shops things went a lot cheaper .At one sale I bought an entire pallet of lathe chucks for $65 and sold half of them for $300 at the sale .Of that job lot I have a few still .One is a 20" 4 jaw chuck so heavy I can't even lift it any more .Lots of difference in a persons strength from age 35 until the ripe old age of 76 .

Does anyone have a prefered place online to purchase lathe parts and tooling from?? I'm wanting to upgrade my 2 bolt cross slide hold down to a 4 bolt and get some of the movement out of it. The places I've been ordering from don't carry that item and it's been really hit and miss on finding one. I can only find 1 on ebay and it's way over priced.

I would just say depends on the machine .Something like the relatively newer ones such as JET or Grizzly you might find new parts .Older machines like Atlas,Lodge and Shiply .or South bend you'd about need to find a scrapper who sells the parts .Then again those older machines have enough adjustments they don't actually wear out Best I can suggest is trot on off to Google land However you might try MSC .

My jet BD-920N should be the same thing as the grizzly G4000 I believe. Should be able to use that one. Thanks!!
