    Yes. That's my one and only complaint about the Leda... the 'orrible plastic handles on the tailstock and banjo.

    I think Jim Carroll would probably be able to source one for you, but I went the pricier route of getting the metal ones for the equivalent JET lathe instead. Exactly the same, just made from cast aluminium (I think) instead of plastic. And probably twice the price.

    I'll have to look through the paperwork to find the price and who I got mine through... and that will take a while. It was quite a while ago and I hate paperwork so all my receipts are thrown unsorted into cardboard boxes.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I dealt direct with leda for some parts for my TS. They were excellent. If you can't get help locally, call them in SA.
