Thanks Gadge & Grumpy, yes I was pleased with the extra "fruit" and the cutters, I did find the woodwork forums and the lathes UK sites but thanks any way, I will check out the lead screw when the back gets a bit better, I was also thinking it might be a pain in the ass when I seen it only had a plate showing metric threads, like I said I know nothing about Metal lathes, but from what I have been reading (a bit confusing) is some say it will cut imperial threads, and some say you need to buy different gears to cut imperial, so I will soldier on with my reading, the woodwork forum is the most informative site I have found so far and would like to verify before getting any gears etc for it.
Thanks again fellas.


If you dont make a mess you aint making anything.
