Sorry, but I'm not sure if I understand how to post a new message-- I hope I'm doing this right.
I have two very old Craftsman metal lathes, model # 110.07403, the same model Quarterbore says he has. I have all essentials except the tool post, tool holders and cutters. We tried making a tool post by cutting down another larger tool post, and it worked for a few days before it snapped apart with a PING. (No, no one got hurt. Just one side of the post broke.) Does anyone know where I can find them? I've been watching eBay for a while, and have picked up other things I can use once it's working, but without a tool post holder that is narrow enough to fit in the groove of the cross slide, It's all useless. One possible solution is to fabricate a replacement for the top slide or the top of the carriage so that I can use larger, more robust tooling pieces, but at least for now I just want a tool post... the vertical part with the slot for holding cutting tools.
Both lathes are also missing the left rear covers over the motor pulley, and a few of the handles are broken, but are still useable.
Thanks!
