Hello
I've a question regarding my lathe (emco 140)
It's in surprising good condition for it's age. But since I have the machine it has some chatter.
Z axis passing are all fine. But the X axis (during parting or grooving for example) always leave chatter marks.
I tried to keep the stock as close as possible to the chuck. And played around with different feeds and speeds. But no improvement.
It's a box way machine and I think it was never adjusted (it came from a local school).
Should a boxway be adjusted and how?
