I started parting off the seat belt bushings today. Unfortunately, this little lathe
has a very hard time with parting operations. It's nigh impossible to prevent it from
chattering. The chatter, in turn resulted in enough vibration for one of my chuck
screws to back out and crash into the cross slide. This is a fillister head screw...
commonly used in counterbored applications. I didn't have any of those, so I went to
Ace Hardware to acquire one. Unfortunately, they didn't have one either. :-/
