What? Does MOSS stand for Manchurian Operational Steel Shop? ;D
Hey, I didn't say I wouldn't use them... and there's the rub. It doesn't feel right with all the made in China stuff but I'm too cheap to actually replace a perfectly good tool.
Desmo - Yeah, you'd think, if anything, that would have one of those MiC things but they probably sourced it out to India.
Another practical and helpful tip. You guys are amazing. : ;D
Today I marked some kind of "milestone" with my lathe. I put up a couple of overhead shop lights in the garage I'm keeping it in and moved it to the back of the garage under the lights. I actually plugged it in and let it run for a couple of minutes. It was much more quiet than I would have figured.
I am a little concerned with the leveling/setup of it though. When I put the level on it was mighty close to perfect. Spot on by the head and a couple of marks off at the tail. What concerns me though is that I can just lift/push on the end of the stand and change how it sets by enough to make me a little leery. I will let it sit now for a couple of days before I try to do any actual leveling just to be sure but am letting the OCD get to me more than I should? It would be great to get something like the original cast iron "stands" that I've seen in the old catalogs but they aren't exactly jumping out of the woodwork.
