People here and on other forums often talk about having had to clean,
fix, shim, adjust, tweak a new lathe in order to make it accurate and
useable. And that being willing to do so lets you start with a less
expensive mill, from HF or Vevor, say, rather than one from LMS or
Grizzly.
But I've yet to see an overall guide to what all of that work entails,
and how its done.
Does anyone have a pointer to a video, or a blog, or similar, that goes
through all of what might be entailed? It's hard to convince myself I
want to go through the effort, without understanding it better. I'm
pretty sure I have the skills. But I might not have the patience or
the equipment or tools.
And: is it always possible for the home hobby user to fully adjust a
cheaper mill? Are there some problems that just can't be fixed?
