I cleaned up, adjusted, lubricated, and wired up the lathe this evening. All went very well. All of the safety devices work, speeds and controls work perfectly. It was smooth and the noise was appropriate for this machine. It wasn't loud or making noises not to be expected. I was very pleased to see it run. Now I need to precision level it and dial it in. The DRO was very responsive and easy to read. This was a great addition without a doubt. The only issue I have is the ball oilers are varying sizes that don't all accept the same oiler nozzle. It's not a big deal, I just need to find another oiler with a smaller nozzle to oil the smaller ports. The mill requires a larger one. It's all part of tooling up I suppose.
Heh, the different sized ball oilers is my biggest nitpick as well. Come on, is it really that difficult to have a single size?
