Need LeBlond replacement parts? You are in the right spot! In this post, we identify some common ones and explain what they do.
History of LeBlond Replacement Parts
R.K. LeBlond founded the R. K. LeBlond Machine Tool Company to manufacture metal lathes in 1887. The company grew steadily, particularly during World War II, with the strong push of American manufacturing to support the war effort.
In 1981, LeBlond took on a new iteration with a joint venture with Makino Milling Machine to become the LeBlond Makino Machine Tool Company. In 1996, LeBlond Makino Machine Tool Company became Makino.
LeBlond Lathe Parts was founded in 1997 to focus on the service and support of all LeBlond lathe equipment manufactured since 1887. In 1998, after acquiring the W. F. & John Barnes Company, the company’s name was changed to LeBlond Ltd to repurpose itself as a complete supplier of machine tool equipment and parts.
With the above history in mind, keep in mind that LeBlond still provides lathe parts as far back as the WW II era as well as more recent parts for its newer lineup of RKL lathes.
Common Lathe Parts in the images are for example only.
Do not use the part numbers below as a default for your machine. For Instance: Your Tailstock Spindle will most likely have a different part number from the one below. These are not one size fits all parts. If you are unsure, reach out to us for the right part information.
Part: Gear Cluster
The gear cluster is a component of the headstock, specifically the intershaft. The lathe headstock supports and aligns the spindle and its bearings, belts, pulleys and gearings.
Part: ZVM or “The Blue Box”
This is the Zero Velocity Module (ZVM) or “The Blue Box,” a replacement for the original mercury-type zero speed switch on older LeBlond lathes.
Part: Tailstock Spindle
This is the tailstock spindle that is particularly helpful in keeping long and slender workpieces level and free of “chatter” when cutting.
Part: Drum Switch
The drum switch is a component of a lathe headstock and helps the machine change direction from forward to reverse or vice versa.

I own a LeBlond 15 in Heavy Lathe. It has a 10 ft bed and is a drop bed.
It is in remarkably good condition but it is missing the threading dial assembly.
There are no numbers or ID on the bed and I hope you can identify the machine by pictures.
I need several pieces for the lathe.
1. A threading dial assembly complete.
2. A steady rest with ball bearings rather than friction pads.
3. Chuck adapters for different chucks.
4. I need the spindle size and number of threads as the lathe has a stuck chuck and I may need to cut the adapter off the spindle

I am looking for a couple of parts for my tail stock for my LeBlond Regal lath.I am not sure if it is a 15″ or 19″, but most of the dimensions appear to match those of the 15″ model. However, there is no taper in the head stock, it is a straight through bore.
The serial number of the bed is 120-915 if that is of any help.
Based on the manual I have, the parts I need for the tail stock are:
18-21 Screw, spindle (Acme thread rod to extend or retract the tail stock spindle)
18-22 Nut, Tail stock (bronze, internal Acme thread)
