   Find the exploded views of "matching" machines online and look for an identical or close match for the spindle assembly. Many machines come out of the same factories with brand-specific tweaks.

   Just checking to see if you had any luck?
   I'm in the same boat, I just acquired a reliant shaper, and the only thing it's missing are the spindles!

   Can't help, but this sort of thing is not complex to turn on a lathe - any light engineering shop should be able to make spindles for you. As all the parts are round, it's probably less than an hour or perhaps two of work for an experienced machinist.

   Hey there. Yes, I was able to find a 3/4” spindle through a dealer in Georgia. Found his contact on eBay. I’ll do some snooping and see if I can find his number again. It was around $60 if memory serves me correctly. Been a while. He also had 1/2” but no 1” or 1 1/4”

   The eBay username is toolsupermarket. Accura dealer. They are almost identical to Reliant. I was able to get a drawbar from them as well. I wrote him a message back then and he sent me his number.
