Hey everyone

I have recently purchased an Emco Maximat Super 11 lathe and wanted to start this thread to capture all of the questions I am going to have as I learn about the machine as well as learn how to turn steel. It has been 25 years since I’ve used a metal lathe at school so I am certainly a bit rusty!

There we’re lots of accessories that came in the purchase some of which are in original box (travelling and fixed steadies) and a full set of additional gears as well as change gear to cut imperial threads (it’s a metric lathe).

So quick pic for starters and then the questions will come....
