What Is Wrong With The Lathe Now?

G'day everyone, throughout January until now I have spent my spare time getting the lathe ready for this years projects. As you may know I am very happy with the performance of the lathe, considering the price I paid, however it did come with some shortfalls with regards to the build quality. In this video I will need to fix some of the issues that have cropped up over the year and fix a few issues that I failed to notice earlier. I will also need to construct a backplate for the new 125mm 4 jaw chuck. I have been overdue for one, and whilst it is not the size that I would like, I will need it to be able to make larger backplates (the 125mm 4 jaw chuck can hold stock 160mm in diameter).
