The company didn’t pay the mortgage for over a year, and our nearly new lathe got very rusty.

    Did you have to rebuild the chuck? I’d imagine that was in a nightmare state.

      Nope, no rebuilding. I also haven’t actually used it yet, because of other work taking priority. I’m the only machinist in the shop, so I have a lot to get to lol. And, the tool holder shouldn’t need to be ultra precise anyway because I touch off tools anyway.
