    NUMOBAMS 8x16 (NU-210G) Lathe Review

    I did just that and it helped some. I think they just ham fisted the nuts.

    Lathe cutting a taper

    Get this... They wanted me to redo my test again but at a slower speed to eliminate "inertia" due to a out of round part causing the taper.... I used the 4 jaw this time and dialed it in to .0005" exact same result of course. They then proceeded to tell me that I shouldn't use the 4 jaw...

    Lathe cutting a taper

    OMG!!! They won't stop correlating the spindle and chuck runout to this issue. They're driving me crazy. They are saying because my spindle has no runout the headstock is fine. They say if the headstock was out of alignment the a dial indicator on the spindle while rotating would be going crazy...

    NUMOBAMS 8x16 (NU-210G) Lathe Review

    Yes and it's touted as being one of the best model 210 lathes. They just don't understand that the sum of the parts alone don't automatically make a good product. I'm still thinking about something old and heavy but I need small.

    Lathe cutting a taper

    I wish firmness worked with them, the only way I will have any leverage is by filing a claim through PayPal. I only have a week left to file one as it took 4+ months to be delivered. https://canadianhobbymetalworkers.com/threads/numobams-8x16-nu-210g-lathe-review.5162/post-74752

    Lathe cutting a taper

    I don't have much stock around and what I do is not straight. No matter how many times I chuck the last cut piece I get the exact same .005" on the dial when I run it on its side. Vertical is dead nuts, well almost. @trlvn

    Lathe cutting a taper

    Right, seems obvious but they can't see that. Yes 8x16, and yep, that is really bad. Even at the 3" it's bad enough that I can't build what I need. I have checked the side to side but that's a great idea checking the up and down. Getting a replacement is up to them, unless I file a paypal...
