How do I stop twisting?

(1/4) > >>

Looks like I am at that time of I could do with a bit of direction whilst having stripped the lathe and rebuilt it as it was very "loose" all over the place.

I have an issue with a "twist" movement between the bed and "the next sliding bit on top of it" (sorry, I dont know its name :( ) I can ue the 6 bolts and 4 adjusting screws to stop up and down movement, but can't see anything to stop twisting movement? Any thoughts anyone?

Cheers
Steve

Well with 44 reads it doesnt look like the info isnt forthcoming.... :scratch:

So I suggest....

What is the lathe and can you provide any pictures of the offending parts that are troubling you?

Thats what I was thinking too. :(

The lathe is from Amadeal, its just called a 7 x 14 mini lathe http://www.amadeal.co.uk/acatalog/7_X_14.html
