looking for replacement parts for my delta midi lathe tool rest holder

[kaysa]

Wow, searching the web for replacement parts for a delta midi lathe is frustrating! I'm looking for a new tool rest base for my lathe, or preferably just the hand screw that tightens the rest itself at your desired height and angle. Does anyone have any idea where I could purchase this? Little Machine Shop doesn't have it, Delta's website is no help, and I can't find a site for Jet replacement parts either (since they are pretty much the same lathe).

I'm getting to the point now in my frustration that I'm considering buying a new lathe to scavenge the parts! Any thoughts anyone has would be very welcome.

Hi Seri, I "googled" "wood lathe parts" and found this site - scroll all the way down and you can click on midi lathe and it will show you all the parts that you can order from them - hope this helps

Seri you might check here if that is your lathe. If not ToolPartsDirect has a long listing of other Delta lathes and parts for them.
HTH,
