Hello Richard, Is it possible for you to post a few photos of the lathe and if you have any photos showing the missing parts? Also the serial number so we may confirm the model and year. Steve

Making parts for a Telescoping Steady Rest - Part 4 Continued
Al, I think Webb is correct, I seem to remember 0.1247 is the reamer size for the 1/8-inch dowel pins. They used this method in other parts areas also such as the cross slide bearing pre-load retainer
