viceroy face plate

[davey crocett]

I'm new to this game, so don't know if this will work ...... however.

I have a Viceroy TDS6SB short bed lathe and can turn between centres fine. The problem is that I do not have a face plate to fit the left hand side of the head shock. I believe it is a 1.5" 8 Tpi left hand thread. Does anybody know where I might be able to pick one up from?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would think Axminster power tools, if they don't have it in stock maybe they would make up one for you.
Other wise a local engineer may do it. - this is always a good option.

and the spindle thread looks like this

The spindle carried a 1.5-inch diameter by 8 t.p.i thread on the right and a 1.25-inch by 9 t.p.i on the left.

Thanks guys,

Thats a great help. I'll try www.lathes first and if that is not fruitful try and get one engineered up locally.

Nice one.

.... just to make d*** sure you had to buy it from the makers. Who on earth thought of a 1.25 inch by 9tpi thread? If you do get one made, remember the one on the outboard side will be left hand thread too!

You could try these people as they seem to carry a good selection of back plates an email might come up trumps.
