Hi,
I am new to the forum so hi to everyone. I work in an engineering workshop where we have the usual array of lathes and milling machines. I build custom motorbikes as a hobby and a milling machine and lathe have always been necessary to do that. I recently sold my small lathe and bought this Edgwick. It's a lovely lathe and works well. Still finding out what all the levers do but they all seem to make sense apart from the feed ratio.
I cannot get the feed to run slow enough for turning, it seems to be always trying to thread cut as it moves too fast in relation to the spindle speed. I was hoping that someone here would know something about this lathe and be able to offer me some help.
Cheers, Dan.
