Is Amadeal the only place the 100mm spindle is available from? Just checking if there may be a US source. Seems like no, but figured I'd ask in case I missed it in my searches.

It's an item from Real Bull, rather than Seig, but it is to the same specs, apart from the 100mm flange. There are several RB dealers here in the UK, but as far as I know, Amadeal is the only one offering it.

The only US supplier of RBs which ever gets mentioned on this group is Big Dog Metalworks < >. Their 7 x 14 has a 100mm chuck, and judging by the picture, the spindle has a flange to match. Maybe you could contact them to ask if they can supply the spindle.

Yep...that did it. They dont have it listed in replacement parts on their site, but Jeff there hooked me up.

Glad to be able to help. Mike of this Group put one on his Clarke (rebadged Sieg) 7x lathe, and fitted taper roller bearings to the spindle at the same time - something you might like to consider. See

Im going with AC ball bearings.
This is on a custom made CNC mini lathe. My buddy steve built it a few years ago, and I ended up with it. Just stepping it up a little.
