Although I am primarily a woodworker, I am also a tinkerer & recent bought the TU2004V mini lathe. While generally happy with it & learning quickly, I have a problem with the cross slide adjustment & I am getting no help from Optimum in Germany & am yet to hear back from H&Fs.
The cross slide adjustment is not the traditional gib & lock nut setup, it has an end plate, at each end of the slide with a M3 or M4 cap screw fitted with a lock nut.
Can any Forumites explain the setup & the adjustment? Peter
