Good job

[@improviseddiy]

Ek het die setup vir meer as 'n jaar lank gebruik.

Please let me know the brand and size of the vise you are using. Are you satisfied with this vise?

[@improviseddiy]

I can't remember the brand. There is no name on the vise itself. All I know it's 125mm or 5 inch. It is not perfect, the vise jaws didn't align and I had to grind them. I would prefer a Vertex. For what I am doing, it's okay.

That lathe can make left hand thread ?

[@improviseddiy]

Hi Selpro. Only righthand thread. With modifications you can add a reverse gear yourself.

[@selprocr]

@@improviseddiy hi. Thanks for your response. Do you know the procedure to add that update on this unit ? Or where to get it ?

[@improviseddiy]

@@selprocr You will need to make it yourself using an additional idler gear. It will be one of my future projects.

[@improviseddiy]

Hi Selpro. I have posted a video on the assembly to reverse the leadscrew for lefthand threading.

@@improviseddiy excelent. Great...
