Hi All,

I have bought a Sanbao HQ-500C, however the keep on the tail stock (2"x2" plastic holding roller bearing in which the tailstock spindle passes) is broken (good old adage of a machine is only as strong as its weakest part). I have been madly searching for a replacement but my searches have come up with nothing. Any thoughts?

Cheers
Robert
 
Can you give us more information about the lathe. How big is it? Attach some pictures of the lathe and damaged tailstock.

If its a Asian built lathe, there's a very good chance of finding something that will match up to it. If not, find a complete tailstock close to it and modify to to fit.
 
Robert--please post a picture of the broken part---if it is like the bearing insert in a thompson like bearing then maybe you could just buy the insert--Dave
