Hey all.
Bad news unfortunately...
My *new* lathe is really not up to the sort of quality that I had expected when I bought it. I haven't been able to find something better as a replacement either, which means that I am probably going to be sinking the money I had intended to go into the 5C spindle build into fixing up this lathe that I just bought.
I intend to come back to the 5C spindle build as it's a project that still has a lot to teach me, I just think the timeline may be a fair bit longer now.
I really appreciate all the help you guys have given me so far! It won't be in vain, I will be back. It's just a matter of time!
Best regards,
Aaron
