I purchased a used 7x10 Central Machinery mini lathe and I notice that the graduated dial on the compound advance spins too freely, so that it is impossible to measure advance or retreat. I have fiddled with it some, removing the dial, cleaning up the parts, (thought there might have been too much lubricant in there) put it all back together and still it slips freely as I crank the handle.
I've tried adding a washer or two - nothing seems to fix it.
Any ideas?
