it's funny how many brands there are for the same lathe

I didn't realise you meant a centre lathe or engine lathe as the Americans call them :-)

Looks good.

its a nice little beast, I spent most of the day dismantling it and traming. As it turned out it didn't need much with the exception of adding some trimming screws which were missing from the carriage. It now glides across the bed. Did some chipping today as well. Works a treat. I need to buy a couple of extra tools a quick change tool post and a vertical slide and I'm good to see how much trouble I can get into.

be sure to get some fuses . I haven't popped one yet but I had one around 10 yrs ago and I went through a few in the short time I had it . I bought some of these breakers so I can ditch the fuse dealy all together https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08QV444K8?...roduct_details
