Hi all.

I have access to this lathe that is shown in the attached photo.

The Lathes feed or thread cutting plate, it is unreadable.

Is it possible for anyone who has a similar lathe to take a few close up photos, of the thread cutting setting chart and the feed chart.

Also the speed chart.

I'm in Australia, the lathe is sold under the Herless name, but not made here. (It'a a Chinese or Taiwan made Lathe)

The Model is 18DFG - 1885, made in 2001 / 10 month.

Thanks heaps.

Peter Cunningham

There's a smartphone app, Waygo, that will translate the Chinese characters to English. Just point you phone's camera at the Chinese characters and watch the magic happen on the screen. There may be other apps as well. It's come in handy for me a few times.
