I have a problem getting a thin disk (1/4") setup in a 3-jaw chuck so that it doesn't wobble. If one side is finished, I can use an indicator but this is very tedious. An even bigger problem occurs

The problem is that I live across the border in Canada, so shipping an item like this involves additional costs and headaches. Having to return a damaged or defective unit would be a nightmare, and

Oh, so as long as this is going onto a flat bench where the lathe does not rock on the 4 metal feet, just bolting it down in the 4 corners should be fine -- Regards, Rich

Rich, The adjusting nuts are just nuts (and perhaps washers) top and bottom of each lathe foot allowing the corners of the lathe to be leveled on the bolts. The bolts are attached to the worktop with

OK, thanks, although I don't know what adjuster nuts are. I am bolting it to a 1.5" MDF bench top, and have a 3" riser platform. I thought I'd bolt through the whole stack. Thread appears to be

Rich, I like the concept of having it bolted down to a very rigid bench with bolts of sufficent size using adjuster nuts. The complete process is described in Sparey's book "The Amateur's Lathe". It

I decided to try my luck with the 4 jaw chuck i already have the part fits and with a dial indicator i can more or less center it mike

I've got one I haven't finished cleaning the red grease from yet. I had my best luck moving it by straddling it and grasping it with both hands by the three jaw chuck. I could move it an arm swing,

Hi Mike and Richard, Thanks for the info. The carriage feed method seems much gentler on the machine than Martin Cleeve's cross feed method. I also checked other articles on knurling and, sure enough,

My comments are inserted in the existing text, where appropriate: wrote: work use I do similarly, but I make sure that the knurl wheels cover only 1/8" or so on the right end of the work. That makes
