HELLO
A few weeks ago after some quick deliberation I decided I needed a lathe in my shop (basement )
i look at new one the ones a liked cost as much as a car the one in my budget all had plastic gears so a found a nice used one that my secretary's husband had for sale it worked I checked out similar on ebay and the price was better then fare $650. I got it home and started reassembling it . I am not doing a total rebuild I just want it to work well . I had to put the QCGB together and attach it to the lathe . I got it on there and started to put some grease on the gears and the reverse tumbler bracket handle bakes off . one is on the way from ebay . I am a little concerned about powering it up the gears in the QCGB stick at some points . also the reverse tumbler bracket handle I have and the one I purchased have a locking mechanism the pics posted of the same type lathe have I single piece handle .
can anyone help me . would like to get this working soon
thanks
john
