Hi Forum,
Have just purchased a used lathe, a basic carbatec badged (Chineseclone type) MC1100 lathe, which is the same as the one I owned in the UK, sogood for what I want to do for now. Itdidn’t come with a faceplate or MT2 so I need to buy a scroll chuck (probably arecord power SC4), but how do I find out what thread the lathe is for theinsert? Carbatec now make a differentlathe with cast iron legs rather than this wl20 style lathe, but I don’t knowif they use the same thread (m30 x 3.5 on their new stuff) as the old oneshad??
Looking forward to getting back to turning as soon as I canget this up and running (and build a workshed for it to live in!)
