Have 3C for #3 Morse tapper with collet. All need to do is make the draw bar. I am also looking at chuck mount 5C I have full set of 5C too. I did see years ago a 5C collet system that you adjust

I have purchased a lot very good new chucks over years . They had to be closer that collet for working being held. The collet using the the spindle tapper is best. *UP DATE* *It is tapper most common

Mike, in theory that is what the headstock Morse Taper should provide. Bill in Boulder wrote:

The accuracy of collet using the tapper in the spindle is less than 0.0005". Other types of collet is under 0.001" If a very costly air or hydraulic chuck can be under 0.000,1" The chucks we use on

So it's a chuck for chucks . animal

This is a off topic from the discussion about making collet chucks run more accurately, but has anyone here ever made a Master-and-Slave* chuck? This is a homemade solution for precision holding of

Today I used clear cutting oil for turning O1 tool steel work great. From photo above. Dave

I have used Never-Seez for dead centers But like live centers. I have tried different cutting oils. The good ones always has same problem cost. That why I now buy from the local store . No shipping

Bill, your setscrew idea sounds interesting. I have something like that on my mini- mill to tweak tram. I could tap near the headstock bolt holes and use flat-tip setscrews. Setscrew diameter and

I use STP oil additive when I need an oil that stays in place on tailstock centers. It's as thick as honey and has a lot of ZDDP. ( Never tried using it as a cutting oil). Mike Taglieri wrote:

Here bottle I use on my lathe is clear cutting oil from Home Depot.? It put a small bottle if i spill less to clean up. Also a can of Lead free lead. Dave

Yes, but occasionally you can exceed those limitations, if you think creatively. For example, I once drilled a hole in work in the chuck using a drill bit that was almost as long as the bed. All big

It is a mini lathe I have own very large lathes in my life. The mini lathe is easy to move. Dave

Moglice is one that folks have used on lathe beds & headstocks & the other parts that run on the ways . animal

Bondo to cover up? their casting bloops animal

Always bearing in mind that those ‘limitations’ my now be so, depending on the work you intend to do. Best regards David

I agree with you, Mike.? I also started with the HF 7x10, when they were around $425, and I had a 25% off coupon, so it was around $320.? I also upgraded the bed about 2 years later with the LMS 16"

There is a family of products, horribly expensive, that are a filled epoxy for restoring worn ways. Scrapable but very hard. I think that they had a product that worked as a filler to restore

Bill, Your filled-epoxy suggestion got me thinking. I wonder if what I thought was paint under the headstock was the vendor adding epoxy to correct an overgrind? It was in the right place to have
