 - Use chuckguard whenever possible.
 
 ## Anatomy of the lathe
-- Headstock is where the part is turned from.
+- Headstock
     - Camlocks which secure the chuck are on the smaller diameter of the chuck.
     - Jaw sockets which secure the workpiece are on the larger diameter.
     - Chuckguard can be lowered to provide protection during cuts.
-- Carriage is the portion which moves when you turn the big wheel. It moves parallel to the rotation axis of the workpiece.
+- Carriage
     - The cross slide is mounted on the carriage, and moves radially in and out from the workpiece.
     - The compound slide is mounted on the cross slide and can be used for fine control cuts, or rotated to cut tapers into the workpiece or bore the centre.
     - The toolpost is mounted on the compound slide.
-- Tailstock is the piece at the far end, and can be used for securing work or for drilling.
+- Tailstock
     - The big lever locks the tailstock in current position.
     - The small lever locks tool in tailstock.
     - Barrel has imperial and metric measurements.
-- Alterable measurements are available on cross slide, compound slide, and tailstock wheels.
+- Wheel scales
     - Cross slide is gradated in 1/100ths of a revolution. One revolution is approximately 5mm or 1/5th of an inch.
     - Compound slide is gradated in 1/20tghs of a revolution. One revolution is approximately 2mm or 1/12th of an inch.
     - To zero the rings, firmly grasp the wheel and turn ring.
-- Autofeed knobs
+- Power feed controls
     - In/out knob in centre - innermost position moves cross slide, middle disengages both, outermost moved carriage.
     - Lever on face of carriage engages (when up) and disengages (when down).
     - Lever to left of carriage should always be down.
-- Fwd/reverse knob
-    - This changes feed direction. It should be turned as far clockwise as possible during startup checks, and not touched again.
-- Thread-cutting
-    - These should not be touched.
-    - Big leadscrew is for threadcutting and will mess with power feed if engaged. Collar on left end should be pulled to right.
 - Gear levers
     - When in gear, the levers should clearly pop up.
     - Left top lever requires an extra shove to the outside when it pops up to ensure it's engaged in the outer position.
 - Foot brake
     - Mechanically brakes spindle.

 ## Materials
-- Plastics can generally be turned safely.
-- Aluminium, brass, copper, and soft steels are fine.
-- Wood should not be turned.
-- Carbon fibre must not be turned. Fibreglass should not be turned without a dust-and-vapour respirator, ventilation, and ensuring the sole use of the workshop.
-- Flammable metals (titanium, magnesium, et al) must be turned at the lowest appropriate speed with coolant, and all dust and swarf should be removed immediately.

 ## Startup checks
 ### Lathe and surrounding area cleared of obstacles.
-- Tray should be cleared of swarf and debris.
-- Carriage should be clear.
-- Floor around tool should be clear.
-- Tools should be secured.
-- Chuck camlocks should be checked for tightness.
-- Axes should be checked for free movement.

 ### Machine has sufficient oil.
 
 ### Other workshop users alerted that lathe is in use.
 
 ### Workpiece is secured in chuck and all jaws are tight.
-- The part of the workpiece protruding from the chuck should be as short as possible.
-- The workpiece should be supported on one or both ends as necessary.
-- The three-jaw chuck should be used for round workpieces. The four-jaw chuck should be used for all other shapes.
-- All chuck jaw sockets should be tightened.

 ### The key is removed from the chuck and safely stored and the chuckguard is down.
 
 ### Machine is in correct gear.
-- The speed figures are not actually correct, but they are correct relative to each other.
-- The gear should only ever be changed when the VFD is turned off and the lathe is stationary.
-- Once a gear is selected, the chuck should be manually rotated a full turn to ensure smooth movement. This may not be possible in lower gears.

-    - The parting tool can be sharpened using the "steel only" wheel on the bench grinder. It should be kept cool via water immersion and short presses against the wheel.
-    - Diamond cutters can sustain chips and damage. These should be replaced. If the supply of fresh cutters is running low, contact tools@edinburghhacklab.com.
-- Lock toolholder to toolpost (or to tailstock, if drilling or tapping).
-- Verify height of tool
-    - Cutting surface should be at or just below centre of workpiece.
-    - Can verify by closing chuck completely and bringing tool to centre.
-    - Can verify by installing live centre in tailstock and checking cutting surface is aligned with tip.
-    - Adjust height with disc on toolholder if need be.
