HobbyMat MD65 parts wanted

[duncan webster 1Participant @duncanwebster1]

I’ve just placed a wanted add for a tailstock for one of these. Prepared to buy complete non working machine if the price is right. On behalf of a friend, will pass offers on.

I have noticed a lot of Hobbymat parts on ebay whilst scanning through the metalwork lathes section.

Is it bust, or completely missing?

IIRC they probably come in Metric or Imp., if there’s a preferred flavour…?

Is a drawing any use – might not be a huge/complex job to hog one out if worst comes to worst, I will assess later.

There’s an Ebay seller called ‘Heritage-lathes’ who deals in Hobbymat stuff and is a reasonable human being – might be worth messaging him..

There was a later lathe called the MD200 which was said to be a resurrected Hobbymat MD65. The parts might be interchangable.

The MD65 is still manufactured as the SU300:

Teco were represented by Pro Machine Tools in the UK but their website doesn’t seem to exist any more.
