    Hello from London, Ontario

    I didnt even think about the fact that there would be different oils for the different parts. I honestly assumed grease was the right way to go until seeing some other examples of this lather. Now you and @trlvn have confirmed that it should indeed be oil so I guess I should start looking for...

    It is definitely greased, ill look into taking it apart like you said and give it a once over. I did a quick google on the lather before I messaged the seller and I found the page you linked. It has some interesting information on there and I'm interested to know if my lather is using different...

    So my tool holder is 2.5"x2.5" not sure on the height or name for it but you can see it in the pictures below. The lathe will sit in my garage but I don't have an official place for it just yet, my garage is being used for storage as I finish the nursery. I'll build a work table for it though...

    Hey Guys!!! I dare you to find a better auction than this….. Starts Tomorrow.

    I must admit knowing it went to someone in the forum did ease the pain a little bit. I like the idea of being able to cut gears, have no real need to do so right now but one day I'll pick up a mill and the tools.

    Hello from London, Ontario

    That's some pretty good advice, can't say she is extremely pleased with the latest purchase. I've spent a little more than I am normally allowed. She's a good woman letting me buy my new toy. Now I just need her to let me get some cutting tools

    Hey Guys!!! I dare you to find a better auction than this….. Starts Tomorrow.

    I picked up a few things, got the overly expensive air compressor and the tilt table. I really wanted that Atlas mill but I could justify sending my friends to pick it up without me. That and I already spent so much on the other two lots haha

    Hello from London, Ontario

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I'm sure you will be hearing from me any day @Susquatch. I appreciate the offer of help. I've been reading through a bunch of your posts and you have some interesting projects going on. As for the type of work, I'm building a CNC router, or will be when...
