Hi All,
As I start cleaning up the lathe , I was thinking about the tolerances of this one.
Before I bought it, I tried to do some tests that were recommended , tested main spindle
with a dial indicator , saddle , handles for backlash, and bedways for unevenness all fine.
As I read , the are a few who actually scrap the beds. What tolerances are we
looking for, in the beds, spindle, and backlash.
Any help would be appreciated..Thanks
