Dave, what specifically is wrong with the spindle?

Marty

When I purchased the AA/Craftsman lathe it had a bent spindle. I was working
at Gates at the time as the plant electrician and had access to the plant
machine shop. I made a new shaft with a spindle nose threaded 1" x 10 for a
Craftsman 4" 3 jaw chuck I had. Obviously, I later tried too heavy of a cut
and bent that shaft. Since Sherline has both 3 and 4 jaw chucks with 1/2" x
20 thread available, I'm looking for a serviceable shaft to get the lathe
working again.

Perhaps someone on the list can help out and fabricate one reasonably?

the small aa lathe has 1/2 20 thread so it was to use a small chuck
a 1/2 shaft can not support a 4" chuck so find 3" chuck and find some
one who can fab. a spindle thank paul(metal)
