There was a slight issue with the lathe when I first got it.
The auto feed switch for the tool bench was not engaging.
I stripped the unit down and noticed this dowel was snapped off with in this brass unit.
I drilled it out, rebuild the lathe, found a old bolt, machined it down to the correct diameter, cut it down to 10mm in length. Did a 5mm thread on one half, put a thread in to the brass section that I drilled out and refitted it all back together and it now fully works.
Not bad for my first go on a lathe.
I do need to order some new tools for it and a centre stay.
