Hello all.
I am in search of a standard modern 1334/1340/1440 steady rest.
I am in the process of completing a partially assembled 1440 that I obtained via the closeout auction of their factory.
I obtained 3 or 4 steady rest bases, but no upper castings. I’d like to get my hands on a...
Hey all,
Figured I’d reach out here. Wondering if anybody has or knows for a taper attachment with lead screw for a king lathe. This one is the 1440 model, but seems to me the 12” model is very similar, so it may be the same.

Here are some pics, just ask if you...
Just picked up this lathe for my home shop However I have a few questions Regarding lubricants, the lathe is a j1mt 360 based of a mazak lathe from my research. I’m in need of the oil weights for the carriage and headstock. I’m assuming something similar to 220 gear lube in the headstock? Anyone...
Hello fellas, I was wondering what was your favorite site/shop to buy metal machinery (lathe, mill...) I've found the site Travers and Grainger but I can't seem to find any other good supplier that offers something other than King Canada stuff. Any suggestions?
