I fired up the lath a few weeks ago,(I've had it 2 years) and have been practicing doing simple things, and learning what I'm doing. Looking at things in operation, and thinking this isn't right. A drill bit in the tail stock should not flex on contact, so figured out side to side alignment might be an issue, and it was. With the odds, and ends I'm getting some muscle memory, tighten this gib, lock the carriage etc.
Now my major problem is the chuck key, I'm sure you are ahead of me already, and know I've forgotten it. It's 3 times now that it's been harmlessly flipped past me on start up. This irritates me to no end, I'm looking at so many things trying to stay safe, I keep missing the tree in the forest. I have got to wise up here.....
