Arh but is it really shagged Mick 


I have turned queit a few parts with that slightly worn bearing and got good accurate results. 






I had a feeling the bearing may have been a none starter being that the lathe is nearly 70 years old  , So,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I picked up a couple of TR bearings today 




that will go back to back something like this  they actually have a better load and speed rating .



so getting closer , I will need to make a cartridge to hold the bearings  and bore the head stock
