Started fixing up a 5914 (my first real lathe). I owned a used Chinese mulit-purpose unit for a few weeks, and wasn't very impressed. I have the tailstock rebuilt and painted and am working on the cross-slide at this time. Working out a few issues in the apron (mostly clutch problems). The variable speed is working good, so I don't think I'll run into any more surprises, but who knows.
