Hi, I received an import lathe about a month ago that seems to have seen some rough times on the way to me. So rather than send it back in the whats left of the crate I got a discount from the seller.
So the lead screw is looks like a wet noodle and there is some damage to the ways right in the sweet spot, about 10 inches from the head stock.
So as I had planned to use it as a manual mill for a bit and then was going to convert it to cnc, I am just going to do it sooner than later.
I'm going to put ballscrews on it and add an encoder to the spindle.
So my question is I was going to buy a new bed and I found a replacement kit at little machine shop part number 4270
as far as I can tell its the same bed, does anyone know anything about this?
I cant post links yet.
As far as I can tell they are all the same casting.
