woodman lathe
Hi all. I have just acquired an old woodman wood copy lathe which is turning out to be a nightmare to find parts for. It only came with a face plate and live centre in the tailstock. The issue I have is that the spindle is an odd size (1 1/8 x 12tpi) and is threaded on the inside aswell as the outside. Has anyone else had experience with these lathes? or know about them? Any info or advice would be much appreciated

Have you tried contacting any of the Woodman Group members?
A copy-pasta from Gregory Machinery's web site (they're the Brisbane branch of the Woodman Group):
---8<---
Woodman is a brand of Machinery mostly imported from Taiwan. In Australia there are a number of companies that import the Woodman brand forming the Woodman Group. Gregory Machinery are part of the Woodman Group in Brisbane, while the other members are based in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth.
The thing that makes the Woodman brand different to other machinery imported from Taiwan or China, is that the machinery is hand picked and inspected by Gregory Machinery themselves. Our experienced staff visits the factories and inspects the machinery in the line of production. It is then that a decision is made to import the machinery on the quality, reliability and value of the machine as well as the quality and reliability of the manufacturer.
Once a new Woodman product has been introduced to Gregory Machinery they are then tested again in our work shop by our technical and electrical staff.

Nova has a chuck adapter for 1 1/8 X 12, as I am sure others will.
See: NOVA CHUCK INSERT/ADAPTORS
One can also ream the spindle to hold Morse Taper accessoriesSo much timber, so little time.
