New Lathe Problems advice needed

Without the ‘dirty washing’?
Doubt it. The fact that at least two other forum members have had the same experience with this vendor is a perfect reason to get the ‘dirty washing’ on here. We pool our experience and something gets done. Clearly the company isn’t learning from other instances. If your business isn’t good enough to weather criticism, perhaps your business practices need a dose of looking at.

As it seems the OP is content, I'm locking this thread.

Clearly there is an issue with this machine, or at least its headstock, but not one that would be obvious under a normal inspection (which wouldn't involve taking the headstock off).

It is a shame if people get the impression that all imported machines are likely to have issues of this kind. The great majority don't, but unsurprisingly people are more likely to post when they have a problem, than when they do.
