I moved to this list from a similar one that suffered from an
excess of Off Topic posts. I am hoping to participate in a list that
is focused on the small chinese hobby lath. I have been machining
as a hobby since starting in HS in 1953 and own a selection of machine
tools. Bought my HF 7x10 at a garage sale for $100 last year. I have
added a number of accessories from HF lacking only a four jaw chuck.
the current effort is to eliminate the play and adjustment crudities
in the machine and repair it up to optimum condition. Fortunatly
having other machines will ease that project.
