You're very complimentary Pepi, not sure that I deserve it- just doing what seemed to work.
The gap under the chuck is original as far as I can tell, I'm not entirely sure whether you're referring to the deep gap directly under the chuck or the way the tailstock ways stop short of the main carriage ways- none of it my doing. I have had so little to do with lathes other than this one that I don't know what's common and what's unusual. I guess the deep gap would enable a huge faceplate to be mounted, but only with nothing on it!
