nice video, but at the last part where u talk about the collet chucks, its probabli couse u are mounting them wrong, the "ebay" one, has that oval ring couse u have to snap the little collet inside nut, then u have to screw it on the chuck, othewise it happens the same as the "old" one, that u need a screwdriver to get the chuck apart, check some videos about how to use a collet chuck, u might learn one or two usefull things, for example, your old collet cuck has less grooves (only on the upper part) couse its made for tools that have holes inside them for coolant to pass thtough (maybe im wrong, but its seems really like one of those), hope i helped a bit, good luck
True. I have little experience painting but I tried to put hammaried metal paint on but it still looks bad. I will paint it again sometime in the future, 😂
That is not a soviet made lathe it is an SN 400 X 2000 and it is made by FABRICA DE STRUNGURI ARAD in Romania. it is a romanian lathe made in the comunist era. I have the same model but shorter.
