Disassembling the CJ0618 7x12 Lathe, Cleaning, and Troubleshooting

I recently bought a new Chinese CJ0618 7x12 Mini Lathe, very similar to the classic Sieg C2 lathe which is sold under different names all over the world. I have a few plans for this lathe, but the main reason for buying it was to finally answer all the questions I get asking whether the Proxxon PD 250/e is worth the money, or if a Chinese lathe is a better deal. In this video I completely disassemble the lathe and talk about all the problems I come across as I do it. I then clean all the lathe parts, and de-burr any that have rough or sharp edges. The re-assembly will be shown in the next video of the series, as it wasn’t possible to include in a single video of reasonable length.
