Hi Johannes. You don’t need an extra crank. As your dividing disc uses the outer edge for measurement. Just drill a suitable hole in the disc, with a suitable bolt and handle, this can be

I have a big dividing disk on the left side of my lathe. So no space for the crank. However, after some days use, I will use my new crank much more. Johannes Lavoll.

I have found that to get the best finish when turning I hand feed toward the head stock and power feed toward the tail stock. By the way, high speed steel is better than carbide on our mini

Over the years, I've also considered doing this mod to add a crank to the end of the leadscrew, even though I've rarely had the "need" for this feature. But, in a recent hack, I did add a crank, but

The fitted thrust washer to reduce axial play was part of my overly elaborate sealing arrangement to keep swarf out of the control box. Roy

Your setup looks a lot like mine.? In addition to the crank, I made a replacement block that has pockets for thrust bearings.? That reduced the backlash quite a bit.? The OEM design has a lot of

Hi Roy Thanks, I have now made an external lead screw crank. Let see what happens after 144 teeth cuts on a 3.465 inch ? wheel . Johannes Lavoll.

When purchased my copy they did not? have small book. The small book came years later. The three ring binder works better because only has what I need. Dave

The Machinery's Handbook I bought included a pocket reference, perhaps to reduce wear & tear on the big everything-but-the-kitchen-sink book.

The file #8 is hardness testing I finally got down load and the unloaded. Like Mohs hardness testing for material hunting just like pencil.? The other was magnic and tape now read to hunt materials

I found to be very useful with mini lathe is this list of charts & Tables It keeps from having to get? Machinist Hand Book out. I first by going machinist Hand Book but found myself washing hands a

How does thd plastic gear holdup over the years? Dave

I remember this post past . How is your mini lathe doing . If need good chart on imperial to metric drill sizes. I first one just left of my lathe see photo I send one. I have real good wall chart

Ryan, We're on the same wave length ! I already checked the lead screw for longitudinal deformation and else as well as the half nuts plus the whole alignment. I can't say that

Thank you for your time. I explored a lots of solutions, it seems that the reason is merely the tight adjustment of the left bearing on the arbor. The dismounting operations are

Thanks Jon, I don't think so because the two bearings are #30206 as per the drawing / BOM, please refer to the documents I sent with one or my first messages (2025 01 25).

PR Here is a last photo, Maybe you have a stack up of plastic spacers that are flexing under momentary instantaneous load?? They seem to be tight, but they might flex and return to their tight

PR, Here is another image, perhaps the change in size of the shaft is interfering with the tightening of the nut and the outer stack of gears and spacers and aligning shaft keys? Again, Good

PR, Here is another image

Hello PR, I found this image This photo of a shaft clearly shows a stepped section near the shaft bearing area of the spindle.? If yours has a similar area, you will not win easily. Did you
