Went down today and got the new to me lathe. The second pic is the parts off my second lathe that is again for sale at the tool store.

Yes the sneeze guards just like a table saw guard should never be taken off. These will most likely be up in the attic soon i would not want a piece coming off the lathe and breaking them.Being one who is dizzy enough without spinning my work pieces, I don't know about this stuff . Are the sneeze guards like the factory table saw guards and normally taken off or replaced by after market stuff? Or am I just so out of it when it comes to turning that I have missed the joke completely ? Help a flathed out will you gang?
The buffet is now open
That's some serious mustard there.

As with most safety shield/guards they should be stored in a safe place.
I've been wondering if the problem with the spindle could have been solved with an MT finishing reamer? Sure wish those things weren't so expensive. Would be nice to true up a worn or abused MT now and then.
That one got me Chuck. I just blew coffee all over my monitor.
...... I am wondering if the 45 was designed with a deep MT socket.
