Almost no detectable wear. The ways are nice. No gouges or dents either.How does the wear on the ways look? Hard to tell from the pictures.
Cutting oil is my blood.

Gaffer. Do you have a manual. You need one. Your gibs probably need adjustment to.Gaffer, it took me 2 sharp blows with a Dead blow mallet to get it to swivel, then it lifted right off. Those 2 nuts are hard as he'll to get too . Give it a few wacks on the sides too. I would bet it will come off.
So far this is a nice machine. Just too big for my small garage shop. So eventually I will sell it and look for a smaller lathe
Yeppers. I'd be lost without it.Gaffer. Do you have a manual. You need one. Your gibs probably need adjustment to.
Yes, mine is a 13' gap bed. I'm not sure which part you are referring to.Gaffer, is yours a 13 inch model? Just to the left of the main slide wheel there is a stud looking thing. At first I thought it was a stop, for whatever. But upon examination of the parts diagram they call it a Way oiler. Mine is totally frozen so I'll fix that too.
