Default Camlock Spindle Assembly again

Bob AZ wrote:
The Camlock Spindle Nose Assembly has the camlock part mounted on or
secured to the spindle. On my lathe it appears to be a separate piece
that is either pressed on or thread mounted and then secured somehow.
Probably not welded.

Somebody or somewhere the camlock assembly must be made by somebody.
But who or where. It certainly is not intergral with the spindle as
the cost of removing all the metal around the spindle part would be
enormous.

So does anyone know where the Camlock Spindle assembly is available?

Thanks

Can you provide details of what lathe you have so others can note it. I
have a D1-4 Camlock on my Harrison M300 and all indications are that
the spindle is one piece, the camlock assembly being integral with the
spindle.
