Good Afternoon All: Finally got most kinks out of my alignment problems with replacement parts from Homier. Headstock, saddle, cross-slide and compound assemblies were replaced. Accuracy is

Rick's got a great idea. The same thought occurred to me when I was last making a backing plate. Maybe I'll try that on this next one. Here's a link for those who may wonder what were talking

Frank, I haven't made by backing plate yet either, but I have some materials for it. I have a nice 1" thick piece of 5" diameter 12L14 that I am going to use. I read about Rick Kruger's adjustable

Hi, Flint. I bought the 5" chuck, but have not had time yet to make the backing plate. For those who are interested, the following link has lots of info on chuck options for the minilathe, and a

If anyone is interested, Homier will be in Burlington, NC Jan.30-Feb 2 at the National Guard Armory ( I think thats where.) Matt

CFSHOUSE: I have a 7x12 (old version Homier). The current Homier and Grizzly are pretty much the same unit. Several of us with this lathe have recently bought a 5" 3 jaw chuck from J&L Industrial, on

Hi, I am debating on which lathe to buy the 7x12 or 9x20 and was wondering what the largest cap. that a 4 jaw chuck will hold in either of these 2 lathes? I think that the 7x will be large enough

Very nice, John. I love the camlock tailstock - it's a huge timesaver and just a lot more pleasant to work with than the wrench & nut arrangement. I checked out your website & noticed the info

Hi Frank, Thanks for the comment. Sorry I wasn't clear about the handle location. I did put the handle in the position shown on your site - it seems more convenient there - but used Rick's

As long as it is one of the new Homiers with 6 holes in the spindle it is a direct fit. Some of the early Homiers only have 3 holes in the

Should fit just fine, they're essentially the same machine with a different paint job. If your Homier doesn't have 6 holes in the spindle, you'll have to drill them - the HF 4-jaw chuck mounts

Does anyone know if the 4-jaw chuck from HF..priced at $49.99... fits the Speedway 7x12 from Homier? Believe it or not, the local HF store has them...yes them, several in stock! And the

I recommend learning to grind your own tools. You will find that you can grind many specially shaped tools to solve all kinds of problems. It's not hard - just buy about 20 blanks and dive in. Here

Here's an alternative design. Main advantage is that the lever is out of the way of the compound. http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_lathe/Modifications/Camlock_tailstock/Camlock.htm Frank

The Homier is a good choice. The Micro-Mark 7x14 has some extra features that are nice, but costs a few hundred $ more. Frank Hoose http://www.mini-lathe.com --- "jackasspkd

Hi everyone. I am a new member and this is my first posting on this site. I have been bitten by the lathe bug and Im thinking of buying a Homier (Speedway) 7X12. I figure since most of you do mods

Hi Matt, I'm new to lathes too so this may be a case of the blind leading the blind, but as a first project I built Rick Kruger's tailstock camlock, see:
