I just called, answered on the 3rd ring, gave 'em customer number from
the catalog, book number (1343 @ $69.50 = OUCH!), visa number, expire
data, she said it'd ship today and hubg up.  No more than a minute and
a half.

Bad timing on your part, I'd say.

On any lathe, the change wheels should be set so that they have a little 
backlash.  There should be a screw cutting chart inside the gear cover.  
If not, find a high school metalworking text, which will tell you how to
calculate your own chart.  A little fiddling around will teach you the setup.
