I have a question: I picked up a mini lathe at an auction, and I am wondering how do you change out the live center and the drive? It looks like it has a morse taper on it. So I know it needs to slide out and slide the new end in, but I am not sure how.

I know, it isn't a shopsmith, but I am hoping ...

I really want one of those Routers that Paul is using in that video. That was awesome. I am going to try to make one of those tables. As I was watching it, I could see myself doing many things with it.
