I can't part anything on my Lathemaster now. It seems like the entire
lathe is made of taffy. Will not cut until it jams. Can't measure any
movement so far. Carbide or HSS, no difference. I have to strip it down
and reassemble it. All gibs are tight. Spindle bearing preload is
tight. The 2 headstock bolts I can see I've torqued. The only possible
thing left are the other 2 headstock bolts I can't see, but assume must
be there for a total of four bolts. Chuck is tight too. Apron, saddle
ditto. This can't be possible can it? Help. Must have working lathe.
