Hi, I'm new to the forums. I have acquire an enterprise 1550 lathe in pretty rough shape.
I'm a small engine and ATV mechanic, I know pretty little about machining but would love to learn. My goal is to get this lathe running and use it to bore cylinders. The trouble I'm currently having is with the saddle, I have removed it from the gearbox. The problem it the mechanism that moves the slide is extremely hard to turn, and I'm not sure how the lead screw assembly comes out of the saddle.
