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

I know this is an old thread but I have a metric buttload of really
expensive beautiful chucks all with the d1-4 camlock backplates....

I have a couple of smaller lathes but want to build a large one. I
would like to incorporate the camlock into the spindle and was
wondering if anyone ever got anywhere with this?
ALSO, another use I have considered is having a camlock spindle nose
to mount to a rotary table because that would be awesome for
changing out chucks...
