I shouldnt have been so hesitant to buy a S/H machine in the first place because even a flogged machine can produce good results if you work within its limitations, which is what you have to do with brand new Chinese machines anyway!
Next up will be the quill fine feed handwheel and quill feed handle. That will conclude my work on the head.... oh no i wont, i have a quill dro to add too.
