The lathe is a (XXX), very similar to the CWL12D, so matching spaces and accessories are available locally from [http://www.machinemart.co.uk/pages/stores/location/nottingham Machine Mart]

There is and index lock which prevents the headstock spindle from turning, useful when changing chucks or special cutting - see the manual for details. <i>Make sure that the spindle is free</i> to turn before starting the motor!

I've noticed a few problems in recent tests: -
* the spindle pulley is not in the correct position - some of the grub screws were loose (and hanging out) but when fully released the pulley can't be moved back into position
* the centres were not aligned and the bolt to release the headstock end of the bed tube is not as in the Clarke manual
* the cup chuck is off whack!
