Cleaning up my old lathe

[Mayhem]

Maybe someone who has a good (not Asian) lathe manual could look up the part and tell us what the proper term for it is.

But that is one of your endearing qualities Steve

I'd be happy to be educated as to the correct term. No exploded diagram exists exists for my lathe, and a manual is even more unlikely. There was a guy on the site that will not be mentioned who took the time to do an exploded version of a South Bend lathe in CAD and I'm sure it would be listed on that. Pity I cannot view it any more.
