The CJ0618 Lathe Saddle Part One, Measure the Problem with Gauge Blocks and Banggood Tool Review

Описание: I recently bought a new Chinese CJ0618 7x12 Mini Lathe, very similar to the classic Sieg C2 lathe which is sold under different names all over the world. I have a few plans for this lathe, but the main reason for buying it was to finally answer all the questions I get asking whether the Proxxon PD 250/e is worth the money, or if a Chinese lathe is a better deal.

In this video I'm taking a look at one of the more major problems, the fit of the saddle, headstock, and tailstock to the bed. The parts seem to have been made very innacurately, and I need to measure just how bad the problem is. This is a great opportunity to try and and review a set of Gauge Blocks sent to me by Banggood for review. Once I've done these measurements I'll have a much better idea of how to go about repairing the machine, and improving its condition.
