Okay, Francis---You asked for it. How does one go about locking the carriage in place on these lathes, for something like a facing operation, where you don't want the carriage to "back away" from the cut? There are two M6 bolts thru the carriage, vertically. on the side nearest to the chuck (you can see them in the photograph ), but they don't seem to do anything---I have tightened them down semi-tight, but they don't seem to impede the movement of the carriage along the bed. I checked to see if they make any mark on the ways when tightened "semi-tight", and they don't leave a mark (thank God).---I'm not sure what they are for.Last edited by brianrupnow; 03-19-2008 at 04:50 PM.

I check in everyday and some are better than others. I don't think Brent has anything to do with the forum anymore, but I'm not sure. Hopefully as time moves on the forum will get better.
Where is everybody?
