Peter, it’s not a good idea to give your email address and telephone number on an open forum. It’s best to ask people to request your details in a personal message.

Good luck with the sale, the Jet 3520 is a cracking looking lathe. I wish I had the space and the money!

It looks like it's off a Record lathe so it might be worth contacting them to ask if they have spares.

If your friend is capable of making one, I suspect they can also identify the thread send them the broken one to copy.

If you need to measure it then I suspect it is an imperial thread, and this article covers the method https://www.wikihow.com/Measure-Thread

Very  nice indeed. I can see why you sweated over the holes. You've clearly not lost your touch!

Another competition piece that works fairly well - for construction details see the pdf file but basically made from 12 disks with moon holes taken out with a Forstner bit.

The technique may be of wider interest - FTR it needs a sharp drill!

I have made a number of 'chucky bits' based on commercially available nuts bonded into wood with 2 pack glue. Clean the nuts and rough up the surfaces with a course file to improve the bond.
