It is very sad to see Keith and Vanessa have to take a break, BUT I have no doubt that it is a decision not made lightly and I can only thank them both so much for what they have done.In Australia the government awards medals to people who go above and beyond in a field of endeavor.

Lathe Move and Setup - Part 3 The Shed 2016-10-08 | The end is in sight. More tweaking to get it right. If you are levelling your lathe, take your time, think about your adjustments, and think about what is needed, and what happens after each adjustment you make. Remember that we are talking about extremely small increments, 0.02mm in a metre, so the movements on the adjusters are very small
Lathe Move and Setup - Part 2 The Shed 2016-10-07 | In Part 2 of Lathe Move and Setup we discuss using a precision level that has graduations of 0.02mm per meter, which is about 0.0008" per 38 3/8". It's a very sensitive level that requires patience and a little thought to use. I then show you how to level the lathe. Make sure you watch Parts 1 and 3 as well.
