Hello all,
I'm new to metal working and I am just in the early phase of tooling and modding. I have a HF 7x10 lathe and a HF x2. The lathe has been torn down, de-burred, greased and adjusted as well as adding a dro. Its working quite well. The x2 has had the same treatment as well as relocating the controls, I ordered a belt drive kit (I have stripped all of the plastic gears out of it so it is not functional until the belt drive kit arrives) and I will be taking a stab at my version of a quick change drawbar. Im still awaiting the delivery of my TTS tooling.
Here are a few pics.
