How are things going? Were you able to check runout of the spindle and the chuck?
Yeah. Someone here said it, though I can't remember who. Welcome to QC outsourcing; on these lathes the Chinese manufacturing company counts on the end user to be the QC department...
You'll probably want to disassemble most of the lathe to remove the crazy amount of grease (cosmoline?) and swarf left over from the manufacturing process, knock down burs and sharp edges, etc.
Once that's done you'll spend the first 3 months to a year learning how to do basic operations, and then another 3 months making improvements, and then...
I did notice the screws were put on very loose in many places of my lathe... too loose in many places. The first one I unscrewed to take off the splash guard (have to remove this to take off motor cover) was only half screwed in. Something else I found, seems at random they kept swapping different sized screws for the same holes. Not sure what happened there. It is a jump from 9mm to 11mm. Not a real biggie, just more of a sloppy feel to me.
