    Default what kind of turret is on this old Stand-Modern lathe?

    Can someone tell me what kind of turret is on this old Stand-Modern lathe? I need to buy a boring bar tool holder for it but do not know what type of turret this is and can not pick out a compatible tool holder. It is 9.75 in. in diameter. It is circular and does NOT have flats on the circumference. Id and pics below.

    Default Re: what kind of turret is on this old Stand-Modern lathe?

    In your case you need to turn a OD12" stock with an ID9.75" bore then finish the holders on a rotary to accommodate for the bolts (coolant and keyway patterns in a vise).
    Once you got all that debured and bolted on the turret, you then proceed to boring & reaming the 8 holders individually "on the actual lathe they go on" (drill, bore, reamer tools chucked).
    Only then you can source tooling for boring, etc...

    Cheapest/safest/fastest way around your issue I'm afraid. One full day work
