Thank you for having this section in a forum!I have been a machinist before and after my military career. never in a million years would I ever thought to buy my own lathe! I almost feel as i was back in tech sckool working on the small south bend lathes. Now for bad news. I was so eager to put lathe in my home shop (by my self) that it toppled over.Lucky for me it slowed its descend by sliding down the door opening.Thus snapping off the collet stand and finally resting on my chain saw.I then realized to remove the motor to reduce the weight.Thats when I found one of the mounts that connect the motor assy to the headstock was busted.
