So I am making a number of videos that are going up on a playlist on my currently pretty much empty YouTube channel. I am not a YouTuber but it is an easy way to share videos. There will be a good number of these and I may enlist Dave M to help me out as he is a YouTuber and lives not too far away.
This first one is a 2 minute overview of the lathe once I got it lifted onto my bench. It is not too heavy - two of us were able to lift it pretty easily. I got the heavy end unfortunately.
Anyway, overall it is not too bad on the surface but as subsequent videos will show this is a cheap Chinese lathe and will need some work to get it functional. I hope to get most of it all pulled apart and diagnosed this weekend so these will be coming along over the next few days. If anyone has some insight as to how to fix various problems I am all ears!
