lathe is up and running!

The electricity guy came out today. Lathe now works!

Not super accurate, I'm getting .001 variance at two ends of a 4" cut. I think it's b/c it's not level (yet) and the chucks are not very high quality. Hopefully.

Good solid clean lathe otherwise. The only issue is that the belt is starting to tear a bit.

We shall see how well it cuts bushings...
