Got my hands on my chinese lathe today.. saddle (I guess its called like that) had a huge play, so I watched some youtube videos and got it tight. There was no "feelable" movement anymore, if I tighten those first plates more, it would bind on rails. So I tried my first turning and.. its horrible
Toolmarks all over the place and after all I can move whole toolpost, so its not rigid (cant see or feel, but while cutter is on pipe I can move it and see new toolpath +soud. More tweaking or its just chinese style?
