What’s a good contact cleaner? Tom wrote:

Try spraying some contact cleaner into the speed control pot, then turning the pot from full-off to full-on & back several times to distribute the cleaning fluid. Natch, do this with the lathe

I think it better or replace to use a 1725 rpm? motor. You get less belt slip. Dave

My 15+yr old Speedway 10x14 lathe has recently developed erratic spindle speed. ?The lathe has had pretty heavy use and is now kicking into max RPM on its own at times….very unnerving and

Thanks animal

I have noticed that speed (5,000 RPM) on higher wattage/HP? motors. There one found that had 6,000 PRM. Dave

I measured the motor speed as about 5000 RPM. I have it geared down to give a spindle speed of 2200 RPM. Tom

I got desperate for a wheel setup. So just cranked out a shaft. Kinda sloppy but it actually worked. Then for a wheel i found a baby stroller dumped in my back alley. And surprise , it had two nice

Hi Mike. I went with the Clough 42 controller system. https://www.ebay.com/itm/164781208092 It interfaces with a Texas Instruments board

I got a new Speedway mini lathe about 21 years ago. It's not perfect, but I have made several modifications to make it better. Perhaps the best one is the modification I made to he change gear

Forget about getting a perfect Chinese lathe. If it were tinkered into perfection at the factory, it would be like the British Myford lathe ($5000+). Instead, you can buy a Chinese mini-lathe and

Unfortunately that seems to be the new norm with a lot of purchased items these days . Reading some of the reviews for things on Amazon& other sites? just enforces that statement . animal

I think most are made by same company so more of color and sticker Better quality control will cost a lot more , weight is greater , large size and a different company. Dave

I put dimension on the drawing Dave

Must say something for quality control in the factory. Best regards David

I downloaded the Warco? WM180 (3200B) manual.? It is very close but it is in the UK. Dave

And some get total crap from Grizzly and LMS. My old SIEG Homier 7x12 was far better finished (ways and cosmetics) than two Grizzly 7x14's and one LMS 7x16 lathes.? ?One Grizzly seized and the other

I work out the RPM on motor by calculating the belt ratio. The motor at high speed was run at 4,300 RPM. I am thinking of a single belt too. Dave

Find a good program is important. The biggest reason I chose Autocad was the metal industry use it a lot. Before I started with Autocad 95 in 1996 I purchased TurboCad in 1995. It work great and
