It fits my shed and accurate enough. Without the motor upgrade it was rubbish, but apart from that I think chinese 10" lathes all about the same. A good used Harrison would be better, this only makes sence with limited space.
Anyway the 14TR2 thread not perfect. I did not bottom out the insert as I thought I was past full depth, so I think it needs to go back in for another cut. The split nut is tight (on and off) normal way round. If I put it on split end first it is free spinning
Marker pen rubs off the root.

Is that the left hand thread you did with the right hand insert?

What’s a edge tailstock alignment bar?
I just turn a piece same diameter as tailstock barrel and clock across. Good way of measuring tailstock sled wear as well

Ground these two holders down so they wont hit the tailstock center next time. There was contact when threading but not enough to knock the center out. While I was at it I reground this carbide boring bar. The old tip too small to grind so ground it back to the shaft.

It's just a bar with centres and a ground diameter on each end.

How much!?!
I'm pretty sure I've seen DoubleBoost do it with a length of 10mm stud with big washers on each end.

Important job on this morning - we picked up a globe light for my daughter that someone was throwing away and it was missing a plastic bushing.
Only one thing to do.... unfortunately I only had steel bar in that kind of diameter so the bush weighs about as much as the rest of the lamp combined, but at least it’s now usable and spins.

To look like this.... bath done as well. Made as I couldn't find the correct size, and was sent these wrong ones by the tap manufacturers, Ideal Standard!

What stock did you use? I haven’t got my mill working so can make a hex.
Is your lathe in imperial?
You haven’t put a 9/16 hole through them then?
