Hi all i have just post a new thread about my lathe its a colchester bantam, just asking for advice or anything i should look out for.
I have a question i have added a pic to help but the cross slide has a little play in it when i grab the wheel and turn it if i was to pull the wheel it would slightly pull the slide back, is there any way of tighten this up, is that what the little grub screws are for on the side??
I have not used this properly yet but sure this little bit of play will be a problem when i am turning down a bit of steel??
