Detail of damage to compound slide.
I don't think this can be repaired easily due to the damage to the T slot as well as the slide itself.

This is the top slide, I hope to find a compound slide assembly from another lathe that will fit easily on here if I cannot find a Denham replacement.
In other news, it grinds a bit, especially at higher speeds or when under a load.
I thought it was the gears so had a look in the headstock.

It was worse in top gear of the 2 final reduction gears, these:

But they look fine, so I got looking a bit further and now I think it is this bearing which has seized and makes the input shaft harder to turn than the other two (even with no belts/motor on there).


Next job, replace the bearings.
Has anyone got any idea what this shaft would be used for?
