Hey everyone new here and also a new owner of a Hendey 12x5. I was wondering if anyone could tell me some history on this beast. I have some BR right now because there is a lot of wear in the back vee and just noticed the lead screw for threading is wore almost flat close to the head. I've already took tailstock and compound apart and found the gib on the compound has been broke and needs a new nut machined. Maybe this wasn't the best beginners lathe. Now I need machining done and I'm having to pay someone to do it for me. I was also wondering if there was a place close to Mississippi that would grind the vee's for me. I've tried calling AAble Machinery to talk to someone there but it said the number is no longer in service (520)642-3272.
