I did a long, miserable and painful spell in Hell, working for an importer of definitely down-to-a-price Chinese lathes and mills, I think I've seen everything that can go wrong, from over-reaching the machine's abilities to the machine basically having very little ability! After a while you notice the same faults cropping up again and again and even my deflicted brain puts 2 and 2 together, files it away for future reference...Hello DAVE ( the other one )
Dave H. (the other one)
Seeing U are right Person, been meaning to ask U a question to avoid a recurrence.
How much of Pressure from the Clamp Lever may we exert on the Quill via the Keyway, say whilst doing heavy Drilling ???
We have used our (newly acquired) MT4 Drills on our machine some time ago. Yes, we understand one may not apply so much force to basically not be able to move the Quill at all, but is there any way we might totally abrade the Key away ???
Regret, seems like a stupid question to bother U, but U know these machines better than anybody else.
TIA
