Hey! I'm enjoying watching the videos about this lathe. It's a nice piece of kit. Just a hint in case you don't know this (sorry if you do). If the lathe's centres are aligned, (at the chuck and tailstock) which they should be, the tool height can be checked against the point of the live center, taking a lot of the guesswork out of it. I'm watching through your vids sequentially so you may have figured this out subsequently, but I thoughts I'd say now while it's in my head. Thanks for the content :)

Ah! I just saw when you did just this in a future video! Anyway, thanks again, there's precious little content featuring the FD 150/e elsewhere on YT.
