#MT6 - Mini Lathe - Half Nut Problem. By Andrew Whale.

I've only had my lathe a few weeks - months? Time flies.... Since purchasing it, I've had a problem with the apron/saddle. When moving the saddle with the handwheel it wasn't at all smooth and it seemed like a problem with the apron gear not engaging properly with the rack. I searched high and low for a solution, but I eventually managed to work out what the problem was myself. This video describes the problem, and the solution. I hope some of you find the video interesting! Any advice is very much appreciated. Backing track credits......
