    Sorry about that. It's just a link to a Google Drive folder and shouldn't prompt for any operating system upgrades unless you're using an obsolete browser or operating system. Can you possibly try a different browser?

When the handle is engaged in the down position everything sounds and feels fine, but when the handle is locked in the up position, the noise is quite loud and clunky as if it's ready to bind at any...

    Myers Lathe - newbie question

    Thank you so much! This is great information. In the future I may see about remaking the missing power crossfeed parts, but for now I'm happy with only the longitudinal power feed.

    Myers Lathe - newbie question

    I'm a long-time lurker in these forums and have been fascinated with turning and machining videos for many years. I recently acquired a Myers brand lathe (10" I believe) and have a few questions. I've included a few photos, but I have plenty more and can upload as needed. 1. I'm trying to...
