Very nice mate

Will it mend my duff starter motor?

i would have been buggered without mine for building my middy, money well spent. wish id have bought a decent one though instead of the clarke anchor.

Ive got a DB8 too and its been invaluable so far in my build, made al my own ally hose connectors at a fraction of the cost and plenty of other bits and bobs too.

I would recommend you get an adjustable height tool post other wise your cutting at something like 4.5mm below the center line with the default tools they give you, i managed to shim mine up to the right height but im saving for a proper tool post.

I've never owned a lathe that didn't require shims under the tools - apart from a very expensive item that had interchangeable tool holders. It's a totally expected situation.

cheers,

I just use the 'steel-rule-between-the-tool-and-the-chuck' method of ensuring the tool is the correct height.

A "phase II" tool post and tool holders(6pc set) goes for about $199.00 U.S...Interchangable tools saves hours of set up time!! Very nice lathe!

Fletch.
