Having been suitably inspired by members on this forum I find myself looking towards doing a bit of turning on my Boxford CSB lathe.
I am very conscious however that it is a fairly old machine with a somewhat unknown history, and although I have used it a few times myself and done some small modifications (motor, reverse switch etc) I really don't know much about it's internal condition and accuracy.
So before starting any projects I would like to check it out, I'm assuming I'll need to check the headstock bearings for wear, the ways, crosslide, leads crew etc.
Is there a guide on here for doing these checks?
Are there any other things I should be looking for?
Assume I'm a complete novice (because I am)
