Nonsense. That’s why he works with ali, stainless and bronze. No painting!
Hopefully not....makes me feel almost normal.

The POS getting a bit more love today 
Chuck guard was broken when I got the lathe 10+ years ago.
So last night I measured it and did a model.
Arranged for getting the code and cutting on the plasma.
This afternoon I had a bit of spare time so cut the parts and stuck them together.
Fitted to the POS.
Also made up a rack for the Capto tooling.
Only problem is some dopey B forgot about the tailstock handle, it fits under fine for sliding but when trying to lock it hits the rack. I have a few options but will have a better look when I get a chance and see which would be best/easiest.

Hmmm, I like the guard but I probably wouldn't use it 
Is it because you use flood coolant?

I think I tried but wasn't enough room to get it angled properly.

Well, it's been 2 months almost to the day, since I placed the order for my Newall DRO.... I'd actually forgotten all about it, until someone asked me the other day "when are you getting a DRO for your lathe?"
Righteous anger filled me, and I've sent yet another email chasing up

The problem is it’s not an English firm anymorePart of the reason for buying a Newall product was the parts and support would be freely available, as befits a high quality product. Apparently that doesn't extend to "special order length encoders"

Yep. Very quick to take your monies. Not so quick to stick to their delivery time. Newall now owned by sensata or something like that.
