Colt V-spring Adventures

A collection of posts often on colt E- and I-frame revolvers: pythons, model 357s, officer model specials, etc. Topics not limited to: action jobs, fixing Bubba-gone-wrong gunsmith mistakes, and revolver porn. And sometimes I'll wander off the reservation and type random nouns and verbs that have nothing to do with our sole purpose, because who the hell can really pay attention that long?

looking for a spindle for a hardinge cataract toolroom lathe


I recently picked up a hardinge QC lathe. I finally got the time to use it today, but after a few cuts, the chucks wouldn't go on anymore. Looking closely at the spindle it seems there is a crack running the entire distance.

It seems like the spindle is cracked since this is a weird way to design something so important. If anyone w/ a hardinge QC toolroom could check theirs I'd appreciate it.

I'm also looking for backgears if anyone has them.














ARGH!
