unusual tap
Would anyone know where I can find an M9x0.5 metric tap? I checked MSC, J&L and Travers, I don't think any of the std places would have this. Is there someone specializing in out of the ordinary

Re: cutting speeds
Thank you both, looks like I am in the ballpark, in general. Maybe I need to try HSS rather than carbide inserts.

Re: cutting speeds
Richard,
Definitely try HSS, as an experiment for your own education under your own shop circumstances if nothing else. HSS just seems more forgiving to me, and I get better results since I haven't

just got a lathe
I'm a retired engineer in the milwaukee area. Just bought a mini
lathe from Frank who has a booth at 7 mile fair. I think its the
same as the Homeier unit.
I'm new at actually cutting metal,

Re: cutting speeds
Relative newbie chiming in here. I've had a bunch of experience with
this lately, turning some 1 inch Al down to 0.5 inch in the center of
a shaft. I'm finding that these 7x12s can hog out up to

Re: cutting speeds
Rich, I wouldn't say that the speeds are totaly inappropriate for the
7x's, but I would use them as a general guide. For most steels, I
generally run at a lower speed, typically between 9:00 and

Re: No longer a wannabe
Larry,
For a drill chuck for the mini lathe tailstock, you can't beat Little
Machine Shop. They have a an arbor and 1/2 drill chuck for $25. The nice
thing about it is that it is a shortened arbor

Re: cutting speeds
Rich,
I'm getting good results on mild steel like 1018 using HSS tools with no
coolant. What type of inserts are you using? I haven't gotten as good
results with coated carbide inserts no matter

cutting speeds
I understand that cutting speeds published in the books are generally used for large machines, and that they are totally inappropriate for our 'toys'. (I have a 7x12). We should go by what feels

Re: 7x12 Blows Fuses ?
Hi Frank,
I also turn speed to zero before using any other control. But I am
leery of a failure causing the chuck to move while I have a grip on
the key, unlikely as that may be. Note that when I

Re: 7x12 Blows Fuses ?
I don't know for sure if it makes a difference, but I
always turn the speed down to zero before switching
direction or turning off the lathe. I have not had a

Lathe Storage
Hi,
On the subject of storing a bench lathe, has anyone come up with a
novel way of having a lathe bench and hauling crate combined. I am

It sounds like the MOSFETs have blown. We have replacements that are higher
capacity.
