Hi Marc,

Where did you find the parts? They may be locating pins from the various things that bolt back onto your lathe - the gearbox housing, the feed and lead screw bearing?

There is not much data or pictures on the casing designs of the lathes - are they threaded in the back to allow withdraw? Sadly I am not home to have a look for you.
 
Marc, those are part of the D1-4 spindle nose. They have a spring in the back (it goes inside the hole) and the point engages in the locking cams to give a “unlocked” detent.

it is this part right here (in red)

this is from a SM 1340, but your 1220 Utilathe is the same. They prevent the cams from falling out, and provide the detent.

You should have three of them. I was missing some on mine and one was chewed up. So I just made three from mild steel.

Hi Robin,

That was my first thought but the pins look to only have a flat on the one side and the spindle nose pins show a flat on two sides - maybe an older design with just the one flat?

I only took my D1-3 collar apart once for a cleaning - didn't photo the event....oops
