Controls

Hope to do US threads without to much mucking around with cogwheels
where hopefully some of these buttons could help me:)

Main axle

Back plate is solid casted aluminum and I guess I have to mill a larger hole here

Tool box and manual,certificate etc

Certificate seems to be the typical Chinese way of doing things:
Copy of some type of machine (handwritten numbers is not done "by hand"
but seems to be a blue print of a previous manual) where some "quality"
man has put a Chinese stamp in there...
Not sure if this means that the machine meets the "numbers" in there or
is better, but I guess it would be accurate enough for me.
I hope at least :scratchhead:

I'm not going to bore you with more pics now for while... Hopefully next
would be of a cue :)

Thanks to those who have guided me in this "quest" and all my questions..
T.I.R?,weight on lathes?,length on lathes? and well, I guess I have asked a lot.
