my crazy project. there's no way this lathe could be worth the time,
energy, money i've put into it so far. still haven't cut anything with it
yet.

Watch out. This lathe has NO lockout to prevent you from engaging
the half nuts and the longitudinal feed at the same time. If you
do this you *will* blow something up in the leadscrew drivetrain.

I may have mentioned this to you at some time in the past, it's
my standard "Star" lathe caveat.
