hi guys,
i'm having problems with the finish on parts i'm making on my C3 lathe..
it seems that i'm expiriancing vibrations - small in amplitude and high frequency. i've been trying different feed rates and spindle RPMs, but it seems that the best finish still shows the vibrations...
i think i tracked it down to the guids. its a simple dove tail guids. i have some linear rails in hand and i want to mount them on the lathe, eliminating the dove tail methid.
the problem is that i never saw a lathe iwth linear rails before.. is there a good reason not to do the mod?
please let me know what you think
Thanks
Liron
