...that the lathe of despair rumbles on. ;)
Here it is with the newly-painted back panel re-fitted and with a new wedge-style quick-change post fitted.
I have attempted to remove the backlash on the cross-slide and I am down from 20 thou' to 4 thou' so I need to try harder I know.
Allegedly, some tool-holders to match will turn up tomorrow, which would be nice and then I might be able to turn a custom "backlash removal" washer.
Chinese-lathe haters may now (of course) form an orderly queue and apply their hoots of derision as they see fit.
I am reconciled to the fact that it is a "Toy" and that I am merely dabbling in machining, so I will not be all that offended.
