Did you ever find any manual for your lathe? I'm going to look at one tomorrow trying to find out more about them.
 
No I didn't I think I found a victor manual that is similar but not the same I really like the lathe though
 
It looks great, Have you tried screw cutting on it? From what I can tell it has everything on board so I won't have to swap out gears
I'm going to be making metric parts for European cars.
Anything you think I need to be on the lookout for?
 
Yes it should cut metric and standard threads I haven't cut many threads on mine yet when I did it seemed to do great. As for what to look for nothing I can think of just the standard stuff you would look at when your checking over a machine
 
Did you find a manual (assuming you still have the Millport)?
