Another approach is treating the dial markings as approximations of actual cut depth, since they don't compensate for machine flex, backlash & general entropy of the universe ;-) These small machines

A lathe basically is just a horizontal milling machine and with the right setups and/or attachments it to can be used as a milling machine. Just as you have stated in your post. *Have A Great Day

To avoid leaving abrasive particles in the motor, filing is preferable to sanding. If you must sand, use old style, "flint" sandpaper; the? abrasive is not electrically conductive. The mica

For any what to this you do not need a mill Here photo in chuck for flat. Note drill after you turn it flat as hard to line in a three jaw chuck. Dave

When have look to if burnt. At point nothing will help but new motor. Dave

I look at the brushes and sand the comutator. It can happen on motors that are used a lot to but just sitting will do too. On will used some times you need to file between the copper plates I like use

The lathe sat for a while when I got it but it was in a reasonably dry basement. I did look at the brushes and they didn't look too bad. One had worn in well and the other was getting there.

I operated a 10 inch South Bend Precision Model for a long time.? Threading results were superb. The thread stop doesn't mean you take a single cut.? You still take multiple cuts.? All it does is

Did sit for a long time without using the lathe or in wet climate? Dave

When first lath my father had a less experience that most have here. So trial and error learning. We set compound to 29.5° and that how we did threading. When I got Mori Seki Lathe in 1976 on the

Is it brushed like the old ones? Maybe those need attention.

I bought the 7x14 Vevor? lathe with the 550w DC motor a will back. The motor doesn't have much power. I can stall it with my bare hands by grasping the 4" chuck. Is there a easy way to check out the

Actually, the original design was for neither of those purposes.? It was for setting each increment when using just the cross slide to cut threads.? Not as a full depth stop if moving in at

??? ??? Thats what the thread stop is for , the 2nd purpose . It was desgined for that purpose , not a " if " . ??? animal

And that means exactly nothing.? It is rotatable and just happens to be in that position.? It rotates so that it CAN be used in different positions.? Not to be put in that position and left there

Here is way of way having direct read dials on mini lathe. If have a 20 TPI cross feed screw. One turn is 0.050" some most lathes have a Graduated Dial, 50 Divisions. For direct reading you need a

Even to from cover of this site the compound is 90°. Dave

I can see how that can be confusing. If you are threading using ONLY the cross slide, the "thread stop" can be used as a limit for the depth of the thread cut.? That's pretty straight forward. But

I hope copy as tried to go there sight but would not me do anything. Thank you Dave

Here photo of almost the lathe one. But not compound angle also a thread stop for same lathe can only be straight in. This where it gets confusing new at using a lathe. I use the compound at 90° so
