One thing about it I didn't like was if you didn't watch the quill while drilling it was easy to run it all the way out. So, yesterday I pulled the quill out and made a plug for tapered end with a center drilled into it. Then I set up the quill on my mill on centers and milled a captive keyway down it. Then I put the quill back into the tail stop and d&ted a hole that lined up with the new keyway. I put a bullnose set screw in the threaded hole that keeps the quill from coming out. I guess the only concern I have with the lathe is the handle that engages the Y travel is still a little notchy or should I say stiff to engage. I have about a year and a half warranty left on it so, if it doesn't free up any I contact PM about it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
