Hi Guys-
First post. First time lathe user, so I bought a Harbor Freight 7x10 lathe, barely used. It works fine except there is some play in the carriage.
One the back, under side of the carriage there are two bolts that hold a plate that clamps the carriage to the ways. Both of these bolts were loose when I purchased it. If I tighten them the carriage won’t move.
I’m guessing this is a known issue. Any ideas?
