1st Post 1st LatheSmart and Brown Sabel

[johnobirches]

Well I sorted some belts and got the lathe spinning.

I turned down some aluminium and made a plug to press out a bush from my AJS motorbike crank case. 

Then flushed with success made a bearing on a rod push tool a-la John Mills to true things up in the chuck.

Some issues with wear on the cross slide and a little lumpiness in the carriage travel along the bed but overall I'm a very happy camper.

Thanks again for the welcome and support.
