859 forum posts 268 photos | Thor types faster than me... According to Tony Griffith's Lathe and Machine Tool Archive Lathes.co.uk - Denham both ball or roller bearings can be found in the MKIIs.. Adjustment is usually simple in principle, but can differ in correct procedure from lathe to lathe - hopefully someone more intimately familiar with these machines will confirm the detaills. I see that Tony can supply manuals, you could also try a 'wanted' ad here or search the 'net. Edited By DiogenesII on 21/05/2023 07:57:50 |

2308 forum posts 33 photos | Hi Chris, Search the net first ! The lathes.co site is a huge resorce of information but having bought a Centec manual at a considerable cost I found most of what I had got was old averts Etc, great if I was a historian, but nothing else that was NOT available free else where on the net. What I got was nicely printed on good paper but from the point of being a user manual a bit thin ! Noel. |

5 forum posts | Hello. All. Ive started to down the lathe headstock thanks to being able to get a manual. I think ive traced the problem to the 2 angular contact bearings in the head. Only problem is they are very expensive to replace. |
