I would ask the seller if it is a two bearing quill or what the part number is. But if you have the Gilmer drive, you are going to need a few more parts to make this quill work.

P/N is the 2 bearing quill so for 32 bucks I jumped on it quicker than me on fresh chocolate cookies out of the oven.

Well.... it could be the PO's leftover 1-bearing quill after they put the new quill in their existing machine...

I do hope the seller provided an accurate answer, but I have to wonder where the seller acquired the info. The description did not indicate to me much knowledge on the part of the seller.

Here's hoping ya got lucky!:)

P.S. Closer examination of the pix indicates it has had some use(marks at ends of anti-rotation groove, and set screw marks on shaft).
