Thanks KN8,

I had seen Lathes.co.uk when I first got the lathe and infact bought the manual. Unfortunately the cd doesnt work anymore and I need a bit more detail in the way of the odd photo. I have two immediate concerns

1 - I need to see how the drive shaft for the lead screw is held on the right hand side of thew lathe as i think i may be missing a few bits.
2 - The screw cutting plate is unreadable in places and although I was able to make out most of the figures I would like to be sure I got them right.

once again many thanks

Richard
