    Default Hi everybody

    Morning all,
    my name is Gorm, I am pretty much a woodturning beginner.
    Had a small lathe, but just upgraded to a teknatool 1000 / 8.

    I learned that this machine was built in NZ and the company does not make them any more.

    I`m missing a few bits and pieces,
    (for example the little leavers, that clamp onto the adjustment screws
    and would really like to get a copy of the original owner`s manual)
    can anybody help, or at least point me in the right direction ?

    Also, one technical question: when running the machine (just idling)
    the right hand bearing area gets HOT, while the left one just gets warm.
    I guess this is an indication that the bearings should be replaced ?

    Would appreciate your comments

    Gorm

    G'Day & Welcome to a top forum "Gorm"...
    There are quite a stack members around Brisbane and cross South East Queensland plus the rest of the country.....
    You'll find a heap of helpful & knowledgeable blokes & ladies on the forum and for most very willing to assist.

    PS - May I suggest you start a new thread in the machinery section and or the woodturning section to gain a wider audience and thus more specific responses....
