Can you give us the swing, bed length, total run out (tolerance), and other specs for the lathe? What kind of motor is it, what are the speed ranges, how is speed controlled, etc?
Hi Doug
Total bed length is 43", Chuck to chuck is 25" including One " projection [ teeth, jaws] outside the 50 mm bore on the chuck. extra teeth in tool box and numbered.
lathe swing it is 7" from the center of the bore to the plate and 6" from the teeth [Jaws] to the plate
There are 4 bolts in the hollow part of the moving chuck and 4 L N screws on the bottom. These are for calibrating, tools are provided in the tool box. In cleaning or transportation or for unforeseen reasons I would like you to call for tech support for the first time and I or my mechanic will walk you through .
Regarding the cleaning of the teeth, they are numbered, I would really appreciate a call to tech support to walk you through when the lathe is in front of you. 714-443-8677.
On the speed control the dial is there to regulate the speed. The slowest speed is 45 rpm and it is 1750 rpm motor, these are made to last a long time and if there is a elect surge
the fuse will go off and will not hurt or burn the motor, the fuse is available in Granger or any elect outlet.
You have one year on the lathe manufacturers warranty.

Re: Seam Glass Blowing Lathes
I wurk on a pretty old U lathe, and its tanky
Shipped a bunch of them to other khuntries as well
And they show up with straight beds
I wouldn't trust an AZ lathe to do that
I don't trust aluminum beds personally
Plenty of aluminum parts on littons, but I prefer a cast bed or that steel billet one looks pretty sweet

In a glass lathe swing is the distance from the center line of the bore to the top of fire carriage. This lets me know what size burners I can mount, and what size pieces can be worked... Swing, along with bed length and chuck to chuck length, is one of the most important measurements in a lathe.
Maybe once I grab the seam, make some cash then I can afford the baller stats
don't wash your hands with your sammich.

your linework is naive maybe try some fuming?
