After setting and checking my Homier 7X12 lathe 9 ways to sunday, I
am still turning tapers! As carriage is advancing towards the hs
assembly, the hs cutting tool starts to chatter, no matter what
adjustments are made. Is it possible that the bed it bowed/warped in
such a manner that this machine should just be returned for a new
unit? I have never run up against such a perplexing problem. All
adjustments have been checked and rechecked for accuracy. Unit is
solidly mounted on a bench. Has anyone else run across this problem?
Any comments? suggestions? short of heaving it into the trash?
