I am supposed to start up my mill from zero.

Interesting -- it must have the treadmill controller. There was
a modification to the board which disabled that, so you could switch
off to stop and then switch back on to return to the previous speed.

Well, you know the Chinese - mine is probably a re-painted treadmill...

Hmm ... I was in the shop this afternoon -- and my breath was
not condensing. I had an electric heater by my feet running to keep
the feet a bit warm at least -- and presumably the somewhat warmed
air did come up past my face, but I did not notice that. :-)

Or you could be a lizard. Have you saved up to 15% recently on car
insurance? If you do not have the same Geico TV commercials this
joke is dead...

We have the same commercials -- but lizards slow down
significantly in cold weather. :-)

And their body temp gets colder - hence colder breath, hence less
condensation.

Somebody posted a recommendation here for the Craftex B2227L lathe
with a link to a discussion forum thread.

Not familiar with that one.

And I steer clear of web-based discussion fora. It just does
not feel right not having my preferred editor and the ability to
format the text as I wish. (I can't imagine trying to do ASCII
graphics on one.

I only went there because of the recommendation from here. But like anything
on the 'net, you have to sift the data with care. The guy who bought it and
started the thread thought it was "way better than a mini" yet seemed to
have done little with it partly because of the said problem with oil. Having
said that, at the price it is still in the running provided I can get the
additional financing, find a space for it and get it home from Vancouver. I
am still not sure about the speed-swing mismatch though.

Oddly enough this one:

http://busybeetools.ca/cgi-bin/picture10?NTITEM=CT039

is actually 22 kg lighter if their web site is to be believed (not always
the case in my personal experience).

Hmm ... too little horsepower for the viscosity of the lube. I
wonder whether that was a gearhead lathe. They are very nice to have,
but a crash tends to be more spectacular, because you don't have the
belt slipping to make things less disastrous. :-)

Yes it is - right as usual :-)
