6 forum posts	I have a delapena speedhone which has a noisy nose bearing and I have been unable to puzzle out how it comes apart. The machine carrys David Brown badging which i think means mid eighties.I spoke to Delapena but just got its old we don't have any details. Can any body advise or E mail me a manual/ exploded diagram.

141 forum posts 1 photos	About thirty years ago when I first got a lathe and began to take an interest in m.e., his writings were a revelation to me. So precise, so unsatisfied with anything but the best, as he saw it. I spent the first year or more making his VDH etc and I have always been pleased that I did.
