Hi @Mennonite, you can't use WhatsApp to load photos to the forum. It's totally unreliable. You should select attach files and upload the photo directly.

A belt drive lathe runs smother than a gear drive. A gear drive will always leave shadows on the work. At least that what my gunsmith friend told me when I bought one like your's . Bill is damm good machinist, so I believe him. However in my case, that was hot worms. But it did mean a belt change.
