Google images has plenty of shots of the standard bent tin guard - which can easily be extended or given a telescopic section. The standard length guard works quite well.

Stuart,

As promised pictures of the guard for the lead screw, very basic but it does the job.

How do you mean, this is the underside of the traverse lead screw, showing the guard from both sides of the traverse which also shows how its mounted.

Hi Stuart

I basically have the same lathe although under the Warco badge, I've had mine since 1998 and they are very capable machines. As noted above the cross slide works on the same priciple, ie you tighten the bolt to take up any slack. You do need to keep them oiled just like any other lathe. My own cross slide 8s getting a little worn now although Warco sell the parts. I have found the dials a fraction out but a DRO can take car of that.

As Howard said above, our forebears produced excellent work on equipment less able than these humble machines. They are very rigid and can produce excellent results, they also have double the capacity of a Myford in turning.

I'l have look at my machine tomorrow, I'm sure it will make sense.

Thanks Martin, much appreciated
