I had to tear down my kerry AG1324 due to a bearing in the power feed making noise. So i decided to Tighten all the bearings and such in the saddle which also turned into removing the bed and getting it reground and saddle scrapped in. While I have it down this far might even throw some paint on it.

Convert Specs to Metric. Metal lathe Kerry’s Ag-ac. Working large just needs cleaned and new bit of paint. I carnt used it as trained on modern lathe. Would be great restoration project for someone. It comes with 3 and 4 jaw chucks. Has centre pipe stand. There is a turning bit on the back I have just been told they are very rear. Engine lathe (Figure 7-1) is ideally suited for this purpose. A trained operator can accomplish more machining jobs with the engine lathe than with any other machine tool. Turret lathes and special purpose lathes are usually used in production or job shops for mass production or specialized parts, while basic engine lathes are usually used for any.
Anyways my question is on the Kerry lathe between the bed and the base cabinet there is a strip of Felt or wool or something. If you read Tonys site it says it had this because the bolts where just there to keep in place and where not tightened so if they base cabinet was off it would not twist the bed. What is this material? or what could be used in its place? as mine are so compacted from time I think they are a bit harder than 1018. They almost look like wool but it is hard to tell.As always any help would be greatly appreciated
