![]() Well, I shut it down and a day or two later wanted to run it some to cut a gear blank only to find out that the clutches were slipping and it eventually got to where the clutch lever would not engage reverse gear. I had adjusted the clutches and it worked great no slippage in the clutches and it was doing great taking some test cuts I actually cut a couple of tapers with it (playing around). I still don't quite understand what went wrong with the machine but I am 99 percent sure that what happened to it was related to bearings. I must admit that I am intimidated by this machine but my friend likes a challenge (good thing for me). It is heavy duty enough to take large cuts but yet the chuck on the machine will handle smaller pieces. For the most part it seems to me that it will be the most versatile lathe in the shop. ![]()
