The CJ0618 is a Real bull lathe. If I remember right (don't quote me 100%) the Grizzly 7X mini is also. Take a look there. It's easy enough to tell a Sieg from a RB by the cross slide. The RB has the solid rectangular slide and the Seig has the "H" shaped one. Shipping from Arc is a bit expensive across the pond but in my experience they are very good to deal with so there's that.?

When I purchased my mini lathe (about 5yrs ago) it was advertised as having a 16tpi lead screw. I recently decided to check and noticed that is not the case. It is actually the 1.5mm pitch leadscrew instead.?

I am considering purchasing a 16tpi replacement along with new half nuts. I found the items on Arc Eurotrade. However, the shipping to the US is a bit expensive. I haven't been able to find these items on Amazon. eBay and AliExpress have the metric version but I cannot find imperial versions. Little Machine Shop has lead screws for Sieg 7x14 lathes, but I believe there are some differences that may cause problems.

Has anyone else made this swap or have suggestions as to where I should look for these items.

Thanks in advance.?
