I broke the base for my tool rest on an old rockwell/delta/homecraft. I had the local machine shop weld it, but broke it again. I've tried e-bay and several other searches, but have not found a replacement. The number on the cast iron base is ddl171. This lathe is 50 something age wise and all the new tool rest bases appear to be quite different. Can anyone give me some insight as to a solution or somewhere I can find a replacement. I have considered having the machine shop mill a slot in a thick metal slab and weld(tap for threads) on a support for the tool rest shaft. Has anyone tried this? MinnJim
