My only surprise is that I have had the lathe three years before discovering
that the spindle is ground MT2. It wasn't a feature I was told about when I
bought the lathe. In fact I still ponder from time to time the function of
some of the accessories that came with it in a large box , I'll get round to
sorting them out one day.
