- Very bad company to deal with AMADEAL.
VERY shady tactics employed, I had issues with lathe becoming faulty after 2 hours of use.
Company made me return item then refused refund claiming gears were stripped, but they were not as you can see in my videos showing the fault.
It was a faulty control board which they claimed they have a stockpile of and offered me a replacement.
When I refused because the control boards sounded very low quality, then the games started.
Hugh the company boss even told me just to forget everything and claim through PayPal as we would both get paid.
Dirty rotten fraudulent tactics they should be ashamed.
AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS
The cheap deal is bait to get you interested in their faulty shipment of goods.
Plenty other companies out there to get what you need without having to experience this.
Let me put it like this- It is not the lathe that is the problem here
Dry your eyes snowflake
is this guy from england ?
@@oraclescave, what does that even mean?

@8:53 Exactly! It is measured WITHOUT the chuck mounted! That's the case with all lathes as far as i know
Looks like a really nice Chinese lathe; Grease nipples, oiled bed, even a thread clock! Nice one!
I bought one of these (in Red) about 6 months ago and to be fair it all worked fine. I then spent a few hours polishing and re adjusting the gib strips..(this makes a difference on its own). Next was the headstock bearing upgrade.. to Taper Roller bearings instead of the poor quality ball bearings, you obviously have to strip the lathe to do this but it can be stripped in about an hour and you have to fully strip the headstock to change the bearings. Once they were changed it was like a different machine. FYI the best way (in my opinion) to check Headstock, Tailstock alignment on these machines is as follows. If you remove the chuck from the spindle plate, get a 3MT dead centre... the spindle is machined to take a 3MT, use the 3MT dead centre in the spindle and the 2MT (that they supply) in the tailstock and bring the two together, you'll find out exactly how in alignment they are, chances are they'll be out.. not by much but then in machining terms half a millimetre is a preverbial mile. Good news is it's easily rectified.
My lathe arrived perfect with zero tolerance issues, gibs and surfaces were perfect, alignment was perfect, everything moved smoothly.
Awesome lathe 👍👍👍
I've had mine 5 years and never had a problem and I've done lots of work as you can see on my channel. I also have a bench mill . They've paid for themselves 10 times over. I can understand if you have no experience and lack of care then you might have problems or you're just unlucky. If mine broke I would buy another tomorrow.
I have just bought one of these lathes,and believe me,it’s a lot better than this chap says. It WILL cut steel,it WILL cut bronze,it WILL cut aluminium etc.He says it’s only good for cutting plastic.There are a lot better reviews on this lathe than this one.
Lol I have videos of it cutting metal , it's more suited to delrin and other solid or dense plastics, not great with metal, a bit under powered.
But can do it.
At double the price of an old lathe that will cut anything anytime you need it to.
Warning was more to show these can be faulty very often from new, and it wasnt worth the risk with that company as their returns behaviour is disgusting.
Lathe can cut most stuff but feels like it is very under powered, sold as a WORKHORSE tgsts why I said it was more like a toy.
7X14 means, if if had a live and dead centre in, the length between them
I bought one recently. Straight away I found the tool post spindle was bent slightly. I contacted Amadeal and received a response from Jorge the same day. He sent me replacement parts within a week and I was back up and running. I speak as I find, so in my case I had a positive experience.
But you didn't have to return heavy goods, the problem with AMASTEAL is when you return your large heavy items.
But I suppose Amasteal needs its ass kissers too
👍👍👍
That minilathe sounds horrible compared to mine, which didn't come from Amadeal. I found a UK supplier (all these lathes come from the same Chinese factory) that shipped me the same lathe, in a different colour for £420. Mine was clean and sounded much smoother out the crate.
Every component on lathes needs too be stripped, cleaned and reassembled before any machining is done. I'd treat it as a kit, that has been assembled for transportation.
Once sorted, these lathes can be very rewarding to use.
Thanks for that John, I have had a few similar messages like that.
At the time of purchase, I understood with it being a mass produced lathe from china, it would have all sorts of questionable oils and metal grinding pastes left behind.
I was overall very happy with the quality, surface finish, and alignments.
I also expected the laws of averages, that could result in me getting a machine with some sort of fault.
Mine was a dodgy controller board which could have been replaced no problem.
I did shit on this tool pretty hard because of my misfortune, but i expected these things to possibly go wrong.
It was more a problem with that company (AMADEAL) that grew from a mole hill to a mountain.
This could of happened with any one of the companies that sell these machines, as you rightly stated, these machines only come from a couple of factories in china then rebranded.
So instead of being salty, I'm gonna keep my eye out for another one, maybe a faulty one and pull it apart and replace with full steel gears and advanced replacement parts.
I dont have the space for a full size lathe, and I only really need a small sized lathe anyway.
Plenty of upgrade motors and controllers can be put on these machines.
So I have been actively looking for people selling very cheap non working ones, and should soon make an appearance again.
Thanks for stopping by with a really good informative comment
Much appreciated
👍👍👍
Could you give me the name of the uk supplier you used please john as ime after one for my self ime based in redditch near Birmingham 👍
The jaws are not the center, take the chuck off and put a center in the spindle and you’ll get the 14”.
I had the same lathe from Amadeal in 2018. It is what it is, a £400 lathe (+VAT) . I did have a warranty problem and they were very helpful and sorted it without costs to me.
The 14" is taken from the tail stock to the face plate not to the face of the chuck.
I can only relate my own experience with AMADEAL. I got what I ordered, I was happy with it and they were charming to deal with.
Yes very charming indeed, right up until I needed to return a faulty item, then the less charming side was introduced into the equation.
Seems like it's only people that tried to return big items that experience the bad side, but then that's where a company earns its reputation, unfortunately they are just middlemen that dont even need to be there, direct from manufacturer saves big amounts of cash for doing their job.
With zero extra risk
This is about the only time nd tool I would advise to get straight from china.
AMADEAL do nothing more than stock a unit.
Glad you didn't have to experience being let down and criminally robbed by these crooks
👍👍👍
I've had mine 5 years and never had a problem and I've done lots of work as you can see on my channel. I also have a bench mill . They've paid for themselves 10 times over. I can understand if you have no experience and lack of care then you might have problems or you're just unlucky. If mine broke I would buy another tomorrow.
The "pinions" you mentioned are for thread cutting. So you can lock on the lead screw in the same position . Look on the Skirt you will see 16. Ie 16 teeth in that pinion. The other two have different number of teeth. See the chart on the lathe.
The reading above was very informative, and thank's for that! I was seriously looking into getting a lathe from these people but got suspicious when their site went nowhere!! I tried to get some kind of sense out of the site, but it appears it is set up, to take money for orders, but nothing else!! As it happens I know the place they "are" or "were" trading from, and it's a crap part of outer London,,I know the little trading estate quite well, but I was under the impression that the "not quite right" traders had been sorted, and removed?? So,, won't be buying anything there then!
Yes Chris, smart move to source your goods from a reputable source.
Since posting the video I have had a lot of messages and comments about people having the same issue with different items that are heavy goods, and the problems have all been the exact same, sending stuff back for returns, results in AMASTEAL, making up lies of machine being very very damaged and destroyed, so they can refuse to refund you all of your money.
It's a scam, ebay and paypal know what they are upto and claims some sellers use this tactic, so they keep the sellers money and seller only gets partial small refund.
It's illegal, very criminal, and not what any reputable business should be taking part in.
They are only a middle man and adding more price on top for doing nothing at all.
So yes there is many places to get these lathes from, China is probably the best place to get from, cheaper, no middle man, and I have NEVER been ripped off by a chinese seller, they always fo above and beyond to rectify any issue you may have.
4 weeks to deliver from china to uk, isn't that long considering my lathe broke and AMADEAL gave me the runaround for weeks, charged more money, mocked me on my phone, and tried to steal my money with dishonesty.
Next time I will definitely go china
👍👍👍
You have the highest class of this Chinese lathes. You have a gearbox and the best tail.
Very true, but the company was very bad to deal with.
And they damaged my lathe and refused to refund me.
👍👍👍
When you got your first car did you turn it on and expect it to
go withut putting it in gear.......lol
Lol, I had put it in gear by moving the lever, I just never got a positive " CLUNK CLICK "
So it was still in neutral when I thought it was in gear.
I was gonna be funny and say my first car was AUTOMATIC lol
👍👍👍
When any lathe quotes a between centre distance. It is stating exactly that. The chuck is removed and replaced with a "Faceplate and what is known as a "Dead Centre" mounted in the lathe "Main" spindle and a "Live Centre" mounted in the tailstock barrel. Commonly known as turning between centres, I could carry on with you use a "Lathe driving dog" to provide the drive etc, etc, but it is all basic engineering.
Sorry to hear about the bullshit you had with the dealer and the problem (not the 'didn't make the gear click in' issue, the control board) because I've seen quite a few reviews online of similar models.
The folks who seem to know a bit about what they're doing seem to indicate that, all-in-all, it's quite a remarkable little machine.
For many of the reviewers/users the plastic gears weren't really a problem as long as you take 'small bites' and take things slow.
Consensus seemed to be that the manual is really crap and that's a pity because I think a lot of folks would get better results if they could understand what they were doing.
Anyhoo, thanks for taking the time to put the video up and ignore the trolls who are all vicious keyboard warriors, I'm sure..
All the best from Australia.
I actually liked the lathe, I was amazed what was crammed into the little set up.
My problem was with the company I dealt with, yes I bought a lemon, but its gonna happen when you buy something mass produced.
That lathe was beautiful, the surfaces were perfectly flat, I was blown away with my lathe.
But niggling in my head, i knew something would go wrong, i just thought it would of lasted longer than 2 hours.
I was already mad, then i dealt with that company who tried ripping me off.
I hated this lathe by the end.
But looking back, I think it's an amazing product, well made, electronics let it down.
And an upgrade of electronics and motor would turn this into a real little work horse.
I am actually keeping my eye out for a cheap non working one coming up, and I will get it.
Just not prepared to pay that price for that quality again.
And I didn't realise at the time of making the video that people who use these lathes defend them with their life lol
All the trolls are lathe owners ha ha ha
They all think they are rocket scientists and only they know how to operate the lathe.
Most of them glue a dildo to the side of their lathe and turn it up to 2000rpm and have the party of a lifetime in the workshop.
When I found that out, I decided not to own a lathe, not my kind of party 😁😁😁😁
👍👍👍
The measurement is between centers, not between chuck and tail-stock center. It you take off the chuck and fit a center you will find it is nearer to the stated dimensions.
Everybody measures the space between the centers from the chuck. That is not correct. You have to remove the chuck and install a center into the spindle and another center in the tailstock. Then measure between the centers. Chuck is not a center.
Take the chuck off and put in a centre and you have 14”
Yes I did know that at the time, but with it being new and busy being on camera.
It got me.
Because I had paid for the new bigger version, and when I measured it came up as the smaller version, I thought I had been ripped off.
But after the video I realised my mistake and re-measured it and everything was fine.
But it freaked me out lol
👍👍👍
It will be a 7x14 machine, you are measuring with the chuck in place. Once you remove the chuck and fit a dead centre you will have the full 14"
Yes that was the case, I was feeling conned for a moment, had my first little go of it today with a bit of steel and a bit of good aluminium, and pleased to say I am hooked already ha ha.
Thanks for stopping by to help out a Newbie 👍👍👍

I nearly fell for it earlier , Amazon selling a lathe and accessories , CJ18A Mini Lathe Red Package 4 but when i clicked on to buy it i saw it was AMADEAL , no way am i buying from a company that treats its customers as bad as they treated you .
That's exactly how I came across them, I found a few good things about them, however it was all articles published by AMADEAL themselves.
Not by people who were customers.
Beware of companies that blow their own trumpet, theres a reason its them writing good reviews and not the customers.
ALWAYS RESEARCH THE COMPANY AND THEIR CUSTOMER FEED BACK FROM OTHER PLACES, NOT JUST THEIR OWN SITE.
I skipped that step and paid the price.
For half the price of this lathe and the tools to use it, you can buy a myford ml10 lathe, well built and not breaking down everytime you turn it on.
Good choice phillace
👍👍👍
@@airwolf08 oak you are full of crap, you all act like a lathe is something special, it's basically a drill press on its side lol
Not everybody has to be a full on machinist to use one thsts why it's a hobby lathe.
It has forward and reverse high and low.
Not rocket science, and this lathe had faulty electronics, and because I wanted a full refund to buy elsewhere, they asked me to return it for a refund, and when I returned it, they damaged parts all over it and claimed it was me, even though I told them I had recorded cleaning and packaging it, and it was delivered with no damage.
You are just a little sissy that thinks he is a machinist because you play on a lathe, get a grip, my child could operate that toy contraption.
But by all means, go about your important special machinist lifestyle lol.
@@airwolf08 it's on a samsung s9 and I dont have little girly fingers like you, so sometimes if I cant be arsed talking to a moron I dont waste my time correcting it.
Now go away back to the corner you crawled out of and make yourself comfortable you gormless clown.
Have fun responding, you are getting no more time you waste of space
Some People should leave these things alone..
Lol, don't tell me,,,, you are a REAL ENGINEER
It's a drill on its side, nothing special.
But I do get a lot of fake pretend engineers messaging, acting like they have a degree in spinning metal on a drill and using a tool to scrape some off.
You sound like you might be one of those
@@oraclescave No I'm not an engineer I just have one of these lathes and am very happy with it, but I did learn how to use a lathe before I bought one that's all, If you need help with it I can do that for you just ask and you shall receive.
@@WayneCook306 ha ha ha its a flipping drill laying on its side.
Its not an intergalactic alien space tool.
Put stuff in the end, tighten it straight as you can, spin it and push sharp scrapers into it.
It's not rocket science.
But most of all, people only respond to this part because I never set it up
I just pulled it out of the box.
AND STATED THAT I KNEW IT ONLY HAD A COUPLE OF MILLIMETRES, BUT LETS SPIN IT UP ANYWAY.
Over here we don't give a fuck about things flying out or losing a finger, so for you fake engineers to only point that bit out to make yourself look like you know what your talking about.
You are such a sausage
Nobody cares how allegedly dangerous a 500w motor is
I could stop it with my bare hands.
You need to get a life bud, you are not an engineer, you own a drill that likes to lay down all the time, nothing special about it, anyone can do it, it takes next to no skill at all.
Yes if precision is needed, but you won't get that with a toy lathe.
I enjoy getting tools and learning them on my own, I don't need to have babysitters tell me what to do.
I bet using a lathe is all you can do you frigid freak
And you lot want independence, Best of luck.
And you lot are WOKE
I bought currently a car but i had to send it back! The gear shifter was lose it moved in any direction! It had an extra pedal on the left but without function! As it started moving finaly it had a lot of power put the highest speed was only 60 kilometers per hour! I am very disappointed :-)))
Lol try pushing the non functioning pedal all the way in.
And change the placement of your wobbly gearstick and let your pedal back up.
I think you might be good
👍👍👍
@@oraclescave Thank you! I tried it on my 20 year old Suzuki and I dont have any more an angry pit bull in my gearbox :-))))
You're not measuring between centers. You're measuring between chuck. It's the correct size
If you have orders metal high low gears they will need to take your time. They are tight and will not fit. You will need to ease them and lap. But when done it is a big improvement.
Easier to put the shaft into the freezer and when you are about to fit the gear you must heat up the gear with blowtorch, then install on the freezing shaft, if it's a friction fit.
Some gear sets have a keyway inbetween gear and shaft, so it's easy to slip the gear into place.
But any trouble and lapping will be the go to method.
👍👍👍
Jeez that was hard work
Looks interesting lathe. I have been planning to have my own too.
I can't wait to see what it can do.
It's very heavy for the size of it, I was expecting a toy but it's made very very well.
And the ground surfaces are beautiful, I really didn't expect this good of a quality
Very happy at what I received, and people seem to be very interested in these machines.
I should have a small mma inverter welder coming today, I think it's a 160A so should give me more tidy looking welds, as that mig welder I have blows raspberries and ends up sending the puddle all directions and leaves more spatter than welds.
@airscrew1 from what I hear, the plastic gears are actually very good, unless you change gears while its spinning, but even metal gears would strip.
There is metal gears you can install into it
those Teflon gears may become a problem once they become hot and it does not sound smooth.
Bonjour, votre vidéo est tout à fait intéressante ; aussi j'aimerais savoir si vous avez dû faire des modifications ou des réglages assez compliqués ( pour un débutant ) avant de vous servir de ce tour ou bien t-il déjà "prêt à l'emploi"? sa qualité vous semble t-elle suffisante ( les tours chinois ont mauvaises réputation sur les forums ) ? les pignons d'engrenages en plastique ne vous semblent- t-ils pas trop fragiles? merci par avance pour votre réponse. Cordialement.
this is painful to watch
Lol thanks anyway 👍
@@oraclescave LOL! Welcome. I'm thinking of making one of these into a CNC machine.
Hello!! a question this lathe can also make threads in inches or just metric;
All these cheap Chinese lathes come with basic information I think, hardly ideal for beginners/someone who's not a machinist but that's most likely who's going to buy one. It's best to check everything first, the belt tension/motor mounts before even switching the thing on for example, they are often 'thrown together' in the factory it would seem. It does take time, knowledge and some modifications but they can be turned into an half decent machine, not ideal I know but that's the situation I'm afraid.
It took guts to upload this video. It is helpful to newbies. I mean, where is he supposed to learn and know all this stuff from. It takes years to learn how to be a machinist and you have to start somewhere. But never operate a lathe at full speed with nothing in the jaws. ...or even at low speed. I got that from This Old Tony channel.
Some people fear getting hurt, but gives them a chance to sound like a pro machinist, greenhorn style, I can take it, lol
👍👍👍
Before I put a video on youtube, I'll get to know the machine. I will make a video and introduce the others to the machine. It doesn't take years, but minutes, maybe one day. Whoever is stupid should rather wash the dishes, not buy a lathe and not make a fool of himself. And if someone doesn't understand machines and equipment, they shouldn't put similar videos on youtube. I want to see how this lathe works and not look at a fool who can't turn it on.
hello friend, does your turn come with a table to make threads in inch
well it's a lathe th-cam.com/users/postUgkxN9zrzkkhnjUF5PQbuA_B1gYdsfCu9k6z but it wasn't what i would have anticipated. Headstock, tailstock, carriage apron are manufactured from aluminum now not cast iron. The spindle diameter for the bearings is too small allowing for a few play in the spindle so I am using some blue Loctite to take out the play.
"rage mode narly activated" hahahha, when i saw the plastic gears, laugh mode became uncontrollable
To be honest I think the plastic nylon gears would be the strongest, the metal gears I have would have more chance of stripping or smashing than the nylon one's.
But overall the lathe is very under powered, needs more torque but then the plastic gears would be at risk.
Old metal lathes are built extra strong and a much better choice unless you are working with plastics then one of these little things is more than adequate.
Very stressful purchase for it just to fail and be left with £500 worth of tooling you can't use.
👍👍👍
Hope all is good
You where saying about it being 12 and not 14.
I know nothing about these but the extra 2 inch would that be taking into account as the jaws.
As the steel will have to sit a couple inches in the chuck.
Yes that was exactly the case lol
I didn't realise there was more than 2 inches of space inside the chuck I didn't account for, so yes definitely it's 7x14.
Thanks Billy 👍
"lots of grease nipples"
WTF?
those are for OIL!! rarely is any form of grease used on slideways etc.
This was the first time I had come across the oil ones, just a slip of the tongue, I didn't mean to tarnish your awesome ENGINEERING skills lol
@@oraclescave :-)
as you are the apprentice, we with the awesome engineering skills can use you as our whippin boy, so can you go to the stores and get a new bubble for the spirit level, a bucket of sand for the grinder and a long weight? and put the kettle on when you come back?
@@crozwayne isn't the internet awesome, you managed to say all that and keep your teeth.
Lucky boy
Could someone please tell me if the lathe is meant to get hot. The leaver at the back also, should it be up or down 🤔
The lever at the back should be your high and low gear selection.
It helps with strength at low speed in low gear.
In high gear it will spin faster but would be easier to get it jammed as in high gear it's not very strong.
So low gear is fine for most and high gear for polishing and good surface finish.
Also the motor is a brushed motor, this means that there is some mechanical pieces that rub against the motor for it to work, this causes friction/rubbing and it generates lots of heat, so yes it is normal for it to get hot, maybe aiming a fan at the motor might help.
Just make sure any holes in the motor casing are not blocked up by stuff as thus would cause it to get extra hot.
Remember to put some oil on your moving parts every now and then and you will be good.
👍👍👍
@@oraclescave thanx for yr messages 👍

So it turned out to be shit. Its bought feom same firm that make loads and rebrand them for the likes of machine mart, axminster, draper etc. I was looking at it in machine mart today.
Motors well under powered like my clark bench grinder. Cheap shit motor whereas it should be an induction motor.
Dude. Get a chuck. Get a steel shaft and a ten ton press. Shaft to chuck and fit into two pillow bearings. Pulley back to motor. Use resistor switch for power setting. You have your chuck. Just bolt to bench through pillow bearings. Then lnly need tooling block and you have made a lathe.
your comment about the between center THIS IS WITHOUT A CHUCK ON YOU HAVE TO FIT A FACE PLAT CENTER INTO THE SPINDLE YOUR METAL THEN RUNS BETWEEN CENTERS DRIVE VIE A CLAMP AND A DOG FROM THE FACE PLATE
Whit a numpty wis you pissed?
I hope you know those are not grease nipples they are for lathe oil if you use grease it will block all the oil ways and will attract dirt and grime and ruin the lathe
Yes I know that, more a slip of the tongue as I had only used grease nipples in the past.
👍👍👍
Hello sir so where can I get the legit lathe about this size? you mentioned this is a Chinese cloned but cloned to which original ? Sorry i am new to these stuff forgive me sir.
Emco had a similar lathe years ago, but even that might have been a copy aswell, but lots of companies sell these lathes under different brands.
Like Grizzly, grizzly takes care of there stuff before they sell it, and other vendors just stick a fake name to it, like Draper etc..
And a few factories make all the lathes in china, with some differences, hence the title cloned also.
The Sean Connery of mini lathes needs to learn how these lathes work . They don't work in neutral read instruction go to youtube talk to Steve Jordin London , England he will help you.
Lol, I had already put it in gear by clicking it over to the right, but I forgot to rotate the lathe at the same time, so what I thought was in gear was still neutral.
Turned out this lathe was junk anyway, faulty control board.
감사합니다
As my wife constantly points out, that extra two inches certainly makes a difference
Ha ha ha she is very correct for this application.
😁😁😁
👍👍👍
yeah the gears you need to install
What is the difference between the cj18a and the cj0618a?
Not sure, probably just extra code for different supplier.
Mine had all the new add-ons and was still just a cj18a.
Not sure what the version with brushless motors is,
Is this one of the duel metal / Wood turning laths
Not really, it's just a metal lathe, but I'm sure wood is probably easy to work on, all you need is a tool bar and hand tools and it would work just fine.
Them hex keys probably made of same butter your brain is made of mate
Go and take your face for a shit
ORACLE'S CAVE lol that was a good one
I like your relaxed manner... It was a little painful to watch, but hey we all start from somwhere.... I was pointing to the screen where the issues were.. But hey, maybe a little prep before doing the vid. But nice one, and don't let people detract you.

@@oraclescave Thanks Man
Where do you buy?how much it cost?
Nearly £1000 UK including the tools to use this machine.
I bought from AMADEAL, BUT THEY ARE VERY BAD PEOPLE.
SEND BROKEN LATHE AND TRIED TO STEAL MY MONEY.
How much this cost
It cost me £1000 including the tools you need to be able to use it.
As it comes with no tooling.
Other countries can get these much cheaper, I'm sure the machine was £550.
Turned out to be junk, the machine broke after 2 hours of use, the company I went through were very bad, called AMADEAL, you should avoid these people, very dodgy, liars, tried to keep my money and the lathe.
I have other videos showing what happened, if you are going to buy one of these, make sure it is NOT from AMADEAL.
👍👍👍
Also struggles with steel, best for plastic, it's just a glorified toy
I would rather have a cheap older solid lathe with rust all over, you can buy them as cheap as £150 upto £650 in my country, over 50 years old
But will last another 50 years.
This lathe was not really worth the £1000 price tag to get running and break so fast, bad electronics, the electronics circuit board had very poor solder job so it broke within 2 hours.
👍👍👍
How is this lathe holding up
It was sent back after lasting only 2 hours, faulty electronics board.
Apart from that the lathe was very well made.
I will pick up another one that's used and much cheaper.
👍👍👍
Have a look at sieg c3 manaul on Google its free and comprehensive dont no what that is on the compund slide that other lever on the carriage is the carriage lock a very useful thing to have
Yes I didn't see the carriage lock on any of the videos I seen so I'm happy it's there.
And yeah I can't wait to find out what that black block is for on the carriage, it's solid and definitely has a purpose but nothing mentioned in the skinny manual about anything really.
Thanks for your advise and will check that c3 manual for more info.
Thanks bud 👍
I would highly recommend a quick change tool post for them it makes things a lot quicker and easier hope you have fun with it
