I never knew what thread those screws were !! But then, I only have my Craftsman lathe about 20 years !!! How do you find your Craftsman in use, by that I mean that mine arrived with the operating handle needing to be pushed down for normal spindle running (anti-clockwise), I changed the wiring over so that lifting the lever up now provides AC rotation. I also find the cross slide function odd, if I tighten the gib so that I can only just move it it moves so freely with the leadscrew, I don't want to over tighten it and induce wear but it does seem slack in operation.

I had a similar experience with Hermes over the past 3 weeks. I took a parcel to the 'parcelshop' and according to the tracking , there it stayed for 18 days.I went back to the shop to see if it was actually there but was told the parcels are all collected daily. Then lo and behold it appeared at the final destination 15 days late. I also had a similar experience with them a few months ago when returning a parcel to Amazon. It stayed in the Hermes 'warehouse ' for 4 weeks but then the tracking number was no longer recognised. a telephone call to Amazon sorted that one out.
