Morning all,
my name is Gorm, I am pretty much a woodturning beginner.
Had a small lathe, but just upgraded to a teknatool 1000 / 8.
I learned that this machine was built in NZ and the company does not make them any more.
I`m missing a few bits and pieces,
(for example the little leavers, that clamp onto the adjustment screws
and would really like to get a copy of the original owner`s manual)
can anybody help, or at least point me in the right direction ?
Also, one technical question: when running the machine (just idling)
the right hand bearing area gets HOT, while the left one just gets warm.
I guess this is an indication that the bearings should be replaced ?
Would appreciate your comments
