Specifications for an A.E Herbert wood Lathe

Hello,

I am going to attempt to get an old lathe going.

It is missing a drive shaft, pulleys, motor, and drive centre.

(Pictures attached).

I have done some research and think that:

• It has plain bearings


• has a 5/8" shaft


• has a 3/4" housing

I can source the bearings and pulleys but will probably need the shaft custom made.

I was wondering if anyone could provide me with some details as to what I should specify in terms of:

• the total length


• threads for either end


• seals


• anything else I should know.

I live in Brisbane so if anyone could suggest a business who could do this work I would be most indebted.

Any comments would be gratefully accepted.

Here are some pictures:

Michael
