Please, every time a cuemaker takes money from someone, the cuemaker thinks it's ok to lie about timelines and work completion

YUP!

Instead of the private conversations!
The early model B lathes had a square block under the saddle top plate on the right side. The left side has the feed screw gear. The problem was that the square block just had a hole for the feed screw to go thru. Over time the feed screw would cut into the hole forming somewhat threads and causing the feed screw to bind.
I changed the block out and added a secondary feed screw gear on a hinge basically, spring loaded to be able to adjust the tension so the screw wouldn't slip.
I've changed many things on this lathe. This change I gave to Mr. Porper to add to his machines to save him time and money replacing the square block. The other changes I kept to myself.
Learn your machines and make them your machines!

Michael ... the Porper B lathe I use has bearings and wipers in the saddle slides.
I assume that it is one of the later ones made.
Can you confirm that?
