Hi folks,
You may have seen my new lathe purchase in the show us your lathe section.
The problem I have is I need this hand wheel re-welding. As can be seen by the pics it was not the best of jobs. It has had a piece welded in by the handle, the other two spokes seem to be all there but welded up. the centre boss does not run true when it is vertical, not even close!. If you use a lathe you will understand how bl**dy annoying this is. I am more than willing to pay somebody to do this,within reason. I can finish it. I suppose the alternative is to make a new pattern and have one cast, I am loathe to do this as it is original to the lathe. It will eventually be sent away for plating to finish it off. Thanks for any help/suggestions. I suppose what I`m looking for is a CI welding god who is sympathetic.
Regards
Glen.
