Then I started looking at the lathe carriage dial, confident that it was just like the crossfeed dial (not!). It measures in 0.004" increments. Who makes these darn things and what were they thinking?
I agree completely :bow: The only reason i got these was that i was i got a scholarship from school to get a lathe and mill and these were the only available tools at the time for the right costDeanofid said:Some of these importers should be thrashed!

I did not even know you were suppose to be neat and organized until I saw photos of other people's lathes.
Neatness has been a learned thing for me, but it makes it easier for me to be neater.
