Just out of curiosity, what kind of lathe do you have? You might be able to find suitable used parts on eBay or machinist forums.
I have a Jet 9x19. I looked on ebay. I just ordered a Grizzly, which I'm pretty sure it's the same thing as the Jet (which is not a current model), so I'm gonna scavenge and should be set. When I first got my current one, I didn't know what I was doing, and so the first few months were pretty hard on it. I'm gonna be a lot more careful with this one, starting with taking the whole thing apart, degreasing and waxing it all so that it doesn't attract so much sawdust, giving it regular cleanings, etc.
