Messy but certainly doable. Just consider you won't be getting a nice finish from machining. If that is required, then some sanding will be in order and there goes, at least, some of your desired

Much to the horror of many, I have used both my mini-lathe & mini-mill to cut wood. Works fine. The only problem you’ll have is the sawdust sticks to the oil making it a bit hard to clean up. I hear

Nice work @johannes!? I had built something similar to your lathe/mill attachment, but I see some details in your mod that I'm going to incorporate into mine.? I like the idea of the plinth block.?

?Dear Gentlemen, 1. If you feel this is too far off the topics generally covered, then may I ask you to simply delete it. I do not want to generate a lot of wasted time and effort on is/is not

The first thing tested was my lathe bedways . I forgot to say the reason for small ball so test thiner materials. But out looking for materials a large ball is harder to lose. It happens a lot. *So in

After some hours setting up the equipment , ready to do the new cutting with leadscrew, (Thanks to Roy,) I did something XXXXXXX Ok, so it is to be a lathe operator. However, I tested it on something

Great idea I am planing that I have? aluminum bar stock and bearings planing on putting a large dial on at same time.? The new cross feed screw is exta long so I can adjust for bearings. Dave

*Mill ATTACHMENT on workbench.* *Dave*

Ya can smooth that thing up some by installing a thrust bearing & washers under the dial . animal

*I am put a Milling Attachment on mini lathe that post photos there milling attachment.* *I have a new copy of Tiag type milling attachment. From Walmart.? Look how did on Littlemachineshop.com.?

That was my instant thought as well. Something like this: https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/%5Bmetal-lathe%5D-indexing-plate-cranck-41391 It won’t work as a crank AND dividing head for your use

Yes Ellis I have made many disk with holes, however they are not precise enough. So now I have 1502 x 2 steps to help me. 1/2 mm is also a step. Johannes Lavoll.

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 attached

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 lathes.

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
