Re: big lathe

i got most of the "knobs & levers " figured out ! done several jobs on it -i really like it ! everything is so tight & smooth ! all my previous lathes were worn out ,you had to sneak on a size or polish it to size ,the big spindle is a very good item to have ,done a driveshaft ,it was nice to chuck it up in there ,before i had to go off spindle centers and always had length problems! like i said its "chinese made "BUT it sure is accurate!!!!!! -im thinking i will buy a read -out and a steady rest for it .the read out will make things easier to do& quicker !
