Has anyone used one? It's a micro-lathe that has been sitting in storage
for decades. My dad brought it into the shop and told me to have at it.
I took the cosmoline and packing grease off of the 3 jaw and 4 jaw chucks,
the teeny tiny little jacobs chuck and the vertical mill. Still going through
boxes (and handwritten instructions for boring out the chuck jaws) but
does anyone have experience with these?
I'd like to try it out for some small parts and maybe some aluminum.
Anything particular to watch out for? Problems that are commonly known?
I'll be hitting the search engines and some other forums (sorry, sorry, I
apologize..) to see what people have to say, but wondered if anyone here
has info to share..
