Gentlemen,
I am having some frustrating moments with my new G8688 Lathe!! It seems that when I attempt to do some cleaning up of round metal and I lock it on the Lead Screw, I wind up shearing the 80 tooth Plastic Gear for the Lead Screw. I have replaced the Plastic Gear twice now and it still continues to happen?? I know there are metal gears available, and these are not on my priority list, there are other truly needed things that I want to purchase. Perhaps that is the answer??
I have made certain that I have adjusted the adjuster properly, I think, according to the manual and other reviews.
Any suggestions and help??
Thank you and have a Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night!!
