watch as we break a perfectly good manual lathe jarek319: "you can’t tune “fundamentally flawed” out of a system."

unpacked and spaced out the legs

started to install the panel between the legs.... slightly off holes

chooching


brackets and panel

time to install

noticed there was too much oil in the headstock, and cross which could lead to issues later. so emptied some out


that's better,, we can use the extra oil on the g0704 ways now.


and mounted


check the oil levels



break it in, and do a test cut in steel. obviously we didn't empty out enough oil


aluminum to test to see if any visible harmonics etc , all good


All installed and ready to start the CNC planning
