    G`Day all,

    Cool Andrew, last time i used a lathe was high school nearly 40 years ago but looking forward to repairing a few items around the house & embarking on some projects. I haven`t turned anything yet I wanted to go through the lathe first with lubrication etc and a general check over & I have rectified a few anomalies along the way, the main one I found was a tight spot in the cross feed, it turned out to be the adjustment on the cross feed hand wheel with that small set screw on the tightening nut it`s extremely sensitive.
    I`ve also had to remove the Splash shield a couple of times & you need to remove the four tiny screws on the cover at the back which covers the electrics, funnily enough they`re exactly the same size & thread as computer case thumb screws - that was my first mod.
