Most lathe chuck backing plates are in fact cast iron, dimensionally they are more stable (less internal stresses) than rolled or forged material. That does not however exclude it from being steel, most cast iron is steel of one variety or another.
I have really enjoyed your videos. They have been a great help as I am refurbishing a 12x30 18 speed as well. I have been documenting it on the Home shop Machinist forum. Thanks again and I hope to see more videos of you Hendey.
Putting it back in is the fun part. Check that the retaining nuts are free on the thread before putting it back in. I learned the hard way to always to do that. When the last nut won't go on and its gotta come out and get fixed doesn't make for a good day. I have a 13 X 30 Hendey, that I saved from scrap, that needs work and I'm learning a lot from your video. great job.
This helped me when my DSG lathe from '58 went bang. Turns out it was the front bearing. Took me a while to fathom it out but thank you for this video 👍
@@MikefromMissouri it helped massively but the company i work for wont pay for a new Gamet dual tapered bearing as they were quoted £1400 for it. So they decided to scrap the lathe. Its such a shame
Hi sir namaste 🙏 Sir if you don't mine please tell me in this video which material is used for this Lathe spindle shaft please tell me don't forget my request
Enjoy your videos. I would have replaced those three bearings. Not that expensive, and they go long way towards a fine finish and more importantly accuracy.
Great work!

Completely agree, put it in a few days ago and getting the bearing preload set correctly is tricky for sure.
You are doing very well, many thanks
