I want to learn how to cut threads, My power feed is belt drive and to cut threads the belt and pulleys come off and are replaced with gears, the drive and driven gears mount to the same shafts that the pulleys came off of and the idler goes on the banjo, I dug through all the stuff that came with the lathe and I can't find an idler mount to go on the banjo. Are most of these just an oiled bushing or do they have a bearing in them?
I need to make this as parts are not available for this lathe. It's a Jet 1440 URPE which is a Spanish lathe Jet sold for a very short time in the mid 80's.
Thanks
Brian
