Let's See Your Lathe

[Mayhem]

Thanks for kind words. It has been a slow process but well worth the effort, as I have learned a lot and have a better understanding of her.

I do indeed have a QCTP (from http://www.tools4cheap.net) and love it. Although, I have made it so I can still use the old 4-way turret if need be. In the second pic you can see part of the 2tpi leadscrew chucked up for cleaning (the lathe was well covered during the cleaning process). The rest of the leadscrew is poking out the back of the spindle and why the door is open! It is good to have a 3.5" through hole! The leadscrew runs along the front and the feed shaft runs along the rear.

I will take some more pics. Do you want them here or do you want a rebuild thread?
