I actually got a 4 jaw with the lathe. In time i hope to do a lot with the lathe, an expensive tool upgrade is definately on the cards (QCTP for starters) In the meantime im trying to sort out my other problems. Warco havent been very helpfull with me, Alarm bells were ringing after i opened the crate, And then i found this, And then this, The Email responses were laughable, basically 'fix it yourself' |

And more gear oil here, And another i plugged with a fibre washer, Ah well, serves me right i suppose. |

It's like an old Jag, as long as it's leaking oil it's OK. It's when it quits leaking oil you know you're in trouble. :palm: :beer: Cheers Jeff |

You will find all the imported lathes tend to weep a bit, some more than others, at least it keeps the rust at bay :) Jason |

You can do what I said with the 3 jaw to get it running better, but use your 4 jaws for anything that needs to be spot on. As for the leaks I cant help much as I have never owned one. If you have no luck with warranty supplying new seals, there are a few groups around for that size lathe, and they maybe able to help by giving you part numbers, etc. Dave |
