AL-54B lathe (Hafco) - apron gear wanted
Someone I know is looking to buy one of these lathes, with a broken gear.
It's attached to the apron handwheel.
Any chance there's a wrecked lathe being parted out for spares?

Hi nadroj,
A long shot here perhaps.
If the gear is broken, I take it that the apron gear box will be disassembled in due course.
If you were to measure and provide all the broken part dimensions,bore diameters ,shaft diameter (if any), number of teeth etcetera. Somebody with a pile of parts who did not recognise their gear parts as a potentially correct part ( for you ) as an Al 54B .
Possibly they may have something that might fit.
There's likely to be other clones around.
If its similar in build to one of the yank Grizzly line, there are parts for some of the latter ones. Check em out through Grizzliy's on line site, but these days the freight will cost more than the part.
Just a thought.

As it is a lathe that H&F have stocked, you might get lucky and they will have parts.
I had something similar a lathe or so agoand got a local gear shop to make one. Effectively a gear on the end of a shaft, it was around $150 a few decades ago. These days I'd cut my own as it was not a complicated part. Worth keeping in mind.
