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

Depends on how big the stuff you want to make is. It works fine
within its limits.


to read all about it and its sisters and brothers. Just buy direct from

http//www.homier.com

saves hassles with ebay sellers and no worries about warranty
hassles.

I have this same lathe, and I got it off ebay for $299. So far I am
happy with this lathe, although I am afraid you can't expect the
lathe to do all the things its bigger brothers can do. Although it
can do internal, external threads, tapers, turning between centers
and stuff, jsut on a much smaller scale. There are many
modifications you yourself can make to this little machine to make it
even better, this is the best bang for the buck. I also reccomend
going through Homier.com rather than ebay, shipping may differ by
about 8 bucks more, the ebay is a big hassle IMO. Hope I helped!

Sean

BTW check out www.mini-lathe.com they have a comprehensive review
on this very lathe.

What level of automation do you offer? What is the price

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

Example like shape of a vase or a Coca Cola bottle. And be
repeatable.

Bhagwan,

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

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.
