Hi Folks
At last i have my new lathe. And my question is this, although it runs
quite nice, the gear train at the rear of the machine sounds a little noisy
and even more so when engaging the power cross / longitudinal feeds
or is this normal
Could this be due to the way it was assembled. It says in the badly
translated manual, when changing the gearing to set the backlash with
a piece of paper ? mmmm. not sure what that means.
Or is there a way of making it a little quieter IE. use thicker grease.
Thank you in advance.
