Glad you were able to get that done.I'm stumped though as to the fit here is a few pics of mine so you can see you are close to factory anyhow.

Boris,
No I'm sorry the manual I have shows a threaded spindle in the diagrams and there isnt a spec sheet in it.

My next job will be the collet adapter ... and a draw bar

 

[Boris Ludwig]

I'd love to get ahold of a specific manual for this exact model.. I've got some interesting stuff and diagrams with the D 1-4 spindle in exploded view for dismantling but the specs of the spindle taper are absent. When I get some time over the weekend I'll post an attachment for you as it may be helpful for you.

The manual I have is a Government manual but its about the same as the one you posted a few posts ago,except the spindle diagrams,and the are drawings of a threaded spindle,lol.

Here's the Camlock spindle assembly in exploded view but it's from a geared head lathe so the gears are different to the cone pulleys and the bull gear but it interesting none the less.

Thought I might celebrate by posting my success at my second practice run on threading....

looks like you did a very nice job!

 

[Boris Ludwig]

Thanks, it was very satisfying. Small potatoes for you guys but for me it's a big deal.

 

[Ulma Doctor]

you are welcome,
anytime in the shop is very satisfying.
don't worry about what anybody thinks.
at the the end of the day, if you are happy with what you did- that's all that really matters
