the switzerland guy says "on the way for an arrangement".

Why the bench top footings are different one the First pictures of this tread compared to the last pictures? Which one are the best fixture? What will be those you'll send me? Mousse

LOL :D I think you missunderstood when I was talking about "hours and minutes"... (this was just a methaphor, a way to illustrate the wheel, as if it was "clock"). It' take effectively less than 5 minutes to adjust the gib. I did it with no problem after reading your explanation. THanks...

Thanks for this Bassel. Its surely helpfull. I tried that and feel that it change the resistance on the wheel and moves (more or less tight). Unfortunatly, it seems that the wheel is not "regular" on its resistance, all around a complete turn. I try to explain : beeing in face to the handwheel...

Bassel, According to your comments, to respect your business, I made an edit on my earlier post. I left unanswered questions that you surely reply soon. You probably understood, at our first contacts, that I'm not an experimented guy. I never said I'm a pro. I'm just having pleasure learning...

Hi, I've nothing against you Bassel, mayby my mail is missundertstood (Hard to wrote english). I think my videos just show well problems I need to solve http://gallery.me.com/zab. I never said I'm a pro using a lathe. That's true that I don't have 25 years of experience. But there is basic...

OK, I repost a video to explain our axe-centering problem on http://gallery.me.com/zab : IMG_0233 thanks to all hints I can get! All lathe I worked with always had a tailstock mounted on a fixe part that was automatically place at the right middle axe without any ajustment (made by eyes) needed.

ok, I see. But, with my lathe, I can install the tailstock with the concave live center at the right side of where I have the motor attached, which no 3-jaw at left side of that part. So, that way, I would have to unmount and install that part (motor + 3-jaw) to the left side end of the bed...

On video IMG_0229, do you see a boring bar? I will repost video "0030" soon. I don't know why, file is damaged. find the good Centering- / axe is my major problem... Thanks for all your time and hints! :thumbup:

What is a maintenance arbor (translation in french :embarrassed2: please?)? I should have received more bed extensions. For now, i do not have enough lenght for a total access to all the shaft. And for house cue made 1piece, nothing to do if no more bed extensions. I thought maybe i could...

Dear Everyone, Some questions about use of Bassel's Toolbox : Why does our lathe must be attached outside (front) of the tookbox instead of inside as all pictures and videos we found on the net? Also, why did you put red scotch under base parts? How to fix/align the headstock in the good axe...
