The 3 jaw chuck scroll bearing is where most can found for errors.?
A low cost chuck can have as must as 0.0015" bearing clearance and highly costly chuck as little as 0.000,15 clearance.?? A machinist? will use a brass hammer and tap Jaws to bring inalinment.?? Do not try this on the??highly costly chuck? they will not move.? Dave? |

Re: Milling attachment for mini lathe
Here's my chip guard modification on Grizzly 7x12.? Needed more room when I got a compound upgrade so I bent it back at the base and made a bracket? to support the headstock end.? Worked out nicely with subsequent milling attachment.

Re: Milling attachment for mini lathe
As I cant reach much behind the bench to the wall, I just use cardboard for everything. Backboard, under lathe swarf catchment, mill chip guards and such. I get a lot of cardboard boxes thus I can use and toss constantly. For me it provides easy clean up. george

But that has to wait until I have the time/money to build my work shop so I can move out of the galley-like work area I¡¯ve currently have in our unusable-as-a-garage garage :-/ Yes there¡¯s a lathe in this picture, next to the drill press :-) I really do need to straighten my bench up.

Re: Milling attachment for mini lathe
You can add plate for more work aera too.
It limit on stork to 2" x 3" . This should do almost everything needed for milling.?? When had Bridgeport with 48" table most was done 5"x5" in rare I need to take vise for larger work.? Now I am downsizing even my work. Dave |
