Thread: Banjo

Is it one like the above?

If so, Woodfast may have a suitable one here, half way down the page

Firstly welcome to the forum.

I am not able to help in locating a suitable banjo for you GMC lathe but I would think it might be a little hard to get just the banjo for the GMC. I might suggest to post a wanted question in this sub-section of the forum, Market Place/Auctions

Other suggestion would be to purchase a new or second hand lathe.

I've sent it to the father in laws to see if he can weld it up but if thats a no go does anyone know where I can get a replacement one? I've got a gmc ml something lathe. Looked around the net and they seem pretty hard to come by. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Find somebody with a TIG welder, then get some cast iron arc rods knock the flux off them. Then you will find it can be welded up as good as new if not better.
