Valex Lathe is now ready ...to make some chips!

I have finished the rebuild on a used lathe that I bought about a month back. It is a well used and in bad shape Valex BV20 model. Quite a few issues were repaired and it now has a new paint theme. It was a very fruitful rebuild that taught me a lot of useful stuff and somewhat expanded my knowledge on several aspects.

Here are a few random pics from the rebuild.

...while taking some measurements in the process. 

And the first chips!
The end result now looks like this.
