If you turn the graduated dial on the handwheel (loosens/tightens with the thin knob on the end) so that you can see the setscrew underneath

But no allen key fits. I'm suspecting there is no set screw.I've tried imperial and metric (although I suspect all the set screws, bolts, etc) are imperial. No?For that matter, I don't see a setscrew on any graduated dial/handwheel.As for that thin knob - I can turn it on all handwheels except the lathe cross slide. I'm suspecting that's the problem. Pliers?I'm tempted to take pliers to the thing but to what end?
Check me...The choice would be between series and parallel.In series there is more inductance and less current per phase.In parallel there is less inductance and more current per phase (motors get hotter but higher speed is possible).It's not clear to me which provides more torque at low or high speed. I'm thinking parallel.I'm leaning towards serial. The current per phase is half that in parallel. What do you think?
Glad you got the backlash sorted! The ad with the code does say the discount is on machine packages, not everything, still would be a great deal.
Looking forward to seeing some swarf!

I got the full discount from Sherline. I think the salesperson made a mistake in saying the promo code applied to the entire order but she honored it anyway.
I used to know slightly a woman named Pam who worked for Sherline and went to the shows from time to time. She's a great machinist; I wonder if she's still there.
