Wanted: Portass Lathe Parts

Sat 22nd Mar '25

Advert ID: 44369

Tools & Parts (Small tooling)
Details:
Could you look under your benches and in dusty corners of the workshop for some parts to allow me to rebuild an old Portass lathe?
I am looking for:
A saddle and cross-slide. I really need just the castings but other bits may be helpful. Condition is not too important. The saddle should be approx 6”x4” to fit a V bed with a width of 2.8”.
A set of change wheels plus, if possible the V banjo and studs / spacers.
I might also be interested in chucks / faceplates / catch plate. Nose thread is 1”x12tpi
These are needed for a Portass XL but could come from a model S or badged equivalent - bed length not important. Parts from the larger Portass (Drednaught etc) are not suitable.
Many Thanks
