On attempting to screwcut a bushed faceplate for this lathe I discovered that the spindle nose is a threaded insert as it uncsrewed ast I was attempting to remove the tight faceplate. The nos is nominally 3/4" 10 Whit. and the stud is 1/2 ish Whit – the thread form is a bit off. I wondered if anyone has seen this before or if this is a one-off ?
