For my current project, I need the use of my face plate to drive the lathe dog. This would be the first time I've used the face plate on this lathe so I performed the obligatory skim pass to make sure the surface was flat. Not necessary to drive the lathe dog but it needs to be done at some point so I decided to get'r done. It was out by about .012" at the outer 1" or so.
Yuk! Cast iron dust.
Time for a serious lathe cleaning and lube job.
