speed way 7X12
lokinb <[email protected]>
Hi again
I found an auction on ebay for the 7X12 mini bench lathe made by speed way. ViewItem&item=3102472367&category=25288 Is tis a good choice at only 300.00 dolars I am not sure and would hate to buy it and have to buy another 6 months later cause it wont do all the things I want. basically I want the lathe to do all the things a large lathe can just on a smaller scale. turning theads on the outside as well as on the inside of a piece. shapeing and cutting. any input you can give as to the suitability of this unit would be greatly appreciated. thanks Lokinb |

I would be VERY intrested in a DRO kit to start out with, for budget
reason I would love a CNC but I don't make enough $$ Prices would be nice! and Pictures Sean --- In 7x12minilathe@..., Jerry Smith <jfsmith@a...> wrote: Bhagwan,a Harbor Freight Drill Mill machine model 42976.

I have a Harbor Freight 7 x 10 mini lathe, model 33684 and a Harbor Freight Drill Mill machine model 42976. I made small items for pieces of artwork that I do. Plus I make knives, some are artist and some are for practical use. Supplying a PC and a program such as AutoCad is not a problem for me. You can find the machines on the Harbor Freight web site; www.harborfreigt.com What level of automation do you offer? What is the price range of these DROs. On the Mill Drill, I need to do make simple curves at times and some angles change cuts. The lathe, I have some need for automation, but mainly more control over the machine for making curves and arc in the cut. Example like shape of a vase or a Coca Cola bottle. And be repeatable.

Since there are many of us here who may be interested, why don't you put a package together with some photos for us to look at? I'm sure special pricing for our group would also generate additional sales. Most of us here have a 7x10, 7x12, or 7x14 mini-lathe as well as I'm sure there are also several mini-mill owners. Maybe you could put together a complete DRO package for the lathes and mill and let us know? Regards, Brice ----- Original Message -----

new to the group and looking to buy.
lokinb <[email protected]>
Hello to all.
I Just joined the group and am looking for advice on which mini Lathe and mill to buy. I have been looking around and the prices seem about the same for most of them. I like the Micro mark 7X14 but I use metric allot and would prefer one with millimeter knobs on it. Am looking to get the lathe first and then the mill. Will be useing them for model making and for parts replacement on the instuments I work on for a living.. any advice you can give me would be great. thanks in advance for your input. Lokinb |

Do you have a retrofit DRO kit for the mill/drills like Harbor Freight sells? What do you have to added to the 7 x 10 lathe that would help automate some of the process of the lathe? Do you ship to the states and Canada? Jerry At 08:56 PM 12/24/2002 +0000, you wrote:

Re. "You must have been a good boy this year!"
Actually I think I have been pretty well behaved this year but the wife might have a another opinion when she sees the bills for all of the tooling I'm buying. Frank your web site is great. I'm in the process of building the carriage stop and lock and your text and pictures are really helpful for a novice like me. I'm looking forward to the cam action tool post and hopefully other interesting projects and topics. Have a Happy and safe Holiday, Pat |

I also bought a minimill but as it's a christmas present for me, the wife says it stays under the tree untill christmas. I can harly wait. Pat in San Diego |
