Guys I just came across my own post,just for those wondering about the quality of the manuals from the UK its worth the 30 day wait.The pages are bigger which means the print is bigger which is a plus for the seeing impaired(myself).Worth the wait and the money---kroll

I have a 15x48 very much like yours and I love it. Mine doesn't leak and I don't use gaskets. I made a spanner wrench for mine from some 3/4" square bar and a piece of pipe for the handle. Most of the nuts I have seen aren't very tight, in fact over tightening them can effect chuck run out. Mine is L1 size. These chuck mounts aren't very common but are not hard to make. I have VFD on mine and it works well. The controled accel- deccel is much easyer on the gear box. Good luck with your lathe.
I have one of these. If you do not have a manual, pm me. It is 5.2 mb in size and I can send to you if you can receive it. With a bit of searching, they are on the internet. rvjwelch77@gmail.com
