Hi Mike, Thanks for the info on the FET -- I didn't know what it was for sure. I understand that there is a more rugged FET which can be used for a replacement so I'll talk to Homier about that

Lee Do you have a web address for Zietlow? I couldn't find it with a Google search. Thanks B Flint <Trainman4@h...> wrote: installation not I

What other machines do you have Bill? I have a Burke #4 mill to go with my Homier 7x12. One of the most impactful changes I made to my lathe to overcome the "crudities," as you put it so well, was to

Tom, I looked at your photos. Nice work. I think you made the right move going with 4 screws to hold the tools. I like the height adjustment arrangement you used too. Are those titanium coated

It sounds like you have the newer (Sieg made) Homier with a mosfet type controller. I have the older Homier with the SCR controller and these would fail to zero speed with blown fuses. Yep, it's a

My 7x12 which is now 2.5 months old popped its fuse shortly after startup Friday, just as I was beginning a parting cut at low speed. I installed the replacement fuse and , with the speed control

I have made a couple of small modifications to improve my 7 x12. Using a small piece of hyfax plastic from the junk box I made a flag for the tail stock so that I could mount a dial indicator and

Hi: I have just completed the installation of a digital readout on my Grizzly 7 X 12 and could not be happier. I purchased the DRO from Zietlow Design off of the internet and got the Quill Kits

For those not on the 7x10minilathe group:

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

I recently completed the Cam Action QCTP project described on mini- lathe.com. It works very well and I am very happy with it. I made a few changes you might want to consider if you decide to build

My name is Boris, I live in Jersey City, NJ. I need to build a prototype of my invention. Unfortunately, due to my recent relocation and long process of job seeking, my funds are not in good

Thanks Bob. If I read you right if I bought an Asian 7x12 or 9x20 I'd have these same issues, right? Thanks a bunch. Paul wrote: the US no big graduations on hair under dials of a

One other thing, if a lot of inch threading is required, pick up an inch leadscrew conversion kit from http://www.littlemachineshop.com along with a set of inch changegears. Solves any almost fits

The graduations aren't much of a problem, threading in the system other than the leadscrew is cut to can be a nuisance. To cut Imperial threads, you may need different change gears than the

With the exception of the Micromart lathes and the leadscrews on the US model 7xX they all have metric cross slide and compound screws, so no big problem there. You have to cut to size anyway so if

I am looking at a lathe that is set up to metric scale - the dials are all in metric gradations and so are the threads. How much of a problem is using such a machine if turning to Imperial measure?

All good points, one other thing that I have found is that there is a tendency to be too timid with the feed.You need too keep up a constant pressure. On aluminum and brass you should be able to get a
