Vintage Faceplate

[Roger SambrookParticipant @rogersambrook23890]

I am looking to acquire an old Haighton Cadet lathe faceplate having a 3/4 x12tpi thread form.

Can any body help with either locating this item or supplying a copy of the original deign to enable me to produce the faceplate. I await in anticipation regards Roger Sam.brook

If no drawing is available, how about measuring the mandrel onto which the Faceplate will fit?

Length of thread (You already know the size / pitch )

Diameter of register (If any)

Length of Register

Diameter of Faceplate can be whatever you wish; withing the limits of the maximum swing

Thickness, again whatever you wish. Sensibly, it will probably be not less than 1/4" and not more than 1/2".

Probably 3/8"

How many slots, and the dimensions, will, again, be your choice., possibly inspired what pictures you may have seen, in catalogues, or websites, such as Lathes UK.
