Yes Duc we just finished it last night and I brought the lathe home to my shop at the house for pictures and doing final cad drawings heres where we are at
The lathe is 4 ft long dove tail also is 4 ft long the headstock is moveable anywhere on the dovetail, lets say your doing a shaft you move the headstock forward and use the suport in the rear to suport the back of the shaft you would also do the same if you where working on a butt section. There is a seprate DC motor and controler to drive the leadscrew which is supported on each end whith a brozne bushing that has a grease sert the leadscrew also runs the length of the bed so the carriage and cross slide can also be used in any postion you desire.The tail stock is key wayed side ways and up and down for pin point accuarcy! If you would like to tapper a butt just offset the tail stock tailstock. The lathe also comes with drill chuck and 3 live centers using them on the tailstock or the other end special fixture to suport the whatever is sticking out the rear of the lathe.The tail stock is easliy adjustable with brass thumbscrews no trying to find allen wrenchs.
