Mark, if you don't already have one, get a copy of South Bend's "How to run
a Lathe". Reprints are available from Lindsay books
http://www.lindsaybks.com/
for something like $8. It's the handbook that came with your lathe when it
was new. Lindsey has lots of other good machining books available too.
