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

Thank you both, looks like I am in the ballpark, in general. Maybe I need to try HSS rather than carbide inserts. m -- Regards, Rich ======================================== Richard

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 FET failure in over 2 years following

Wednesday I was in Chehalis, WA to have lunch date with a woman I met at a dance. I told her HOMIER was having a sale there and she was pleased to go with me before we had lunch. We got there

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 thinking of perhaps combining the two features so one can

Hi Chris, Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I have already ordered the IRFP460 replacement FET's from an electronics supplier -- they have a minimum $ order so I'll wind up with a LOT of
