Help! with potential boat mooring.

[lynard]

Will do BOb thank you, the collets are i think can be got from Pratt/burnered over here. funny you should mention South bend lathes, i have the remains of a Seuth bend 10L lathe here with no sadle lead screw or tail stock, the headstock and bed are fine, getting the other bits will be a nightmare, i was told Boxford parts are the same as south bend is thisa true or just hear say.
