I got a great deal from my neighbor for his old lathe.
Do I need it? Absolutely no! Did I want one for the last 20 years? Hell yes! Here is my problem: I have NO clue how to operate/use it. Amy recommendation about "how-to-do" books or DVD? Thanks, dc |

Not a good idea to leave the "T" handle in the chuck, and turn it on.

Did that once at home when my lathe was in the garage...handle flew straight up and landed a foot away from the hood of my old 914! Could have worse, I was standing right in front of the chuck with no guard on the machine. No wearing gloves, even rubber gloves can be dangerous..no loose clothes or long hair... Yale student, lathe accident |

I made some new rear trunk delrin rollers that guide the torsion bars. piece of cake. also had to machine out the oil seal from the speedo drive right angle drive off the tranny as that was the only way to get that bugger out. |
