The stuff I have seen previously was white or light creme in color. If you
get it I will spit the cost as I am going to need to redo mine in the
spindle this year some time.

Subject: Re: [southbendlathe] Felt source?
I did see hard felt (SAE 20S2) on page 3015 of
online catalog. It says its "good for bearing seals, lubrication wicks and
fluid transfer components." I think I might try a 12" x 12" x 1/8" square
for $12.77 if I can't find anything better. Anybody got any opinions on
this?

Does anybody know of a source for the thick felt that is used way-wipers
on
the carriage as well as the felt used as wicks on shafts? I hate to even
call SBL for a price at this point.
I'm in the process of de-gunking and repairing my SB and I'm missing a
couple of the way-wipers. One screw was broken off, but fortunately
there
was enough of a nib sticking out I was able to use a small nail-set and
a
small hammer to carefully unscrew the broken screw. I'm glad I didn't
have
to drill and tap!
Thanks,
