Hi all, Until I decide which way I want to go with a lathe, would anyone here know if it's possible to (easily) fit a lathe chuck on a drill press? No, I don't intend to do any cutting/turning on

Here's a link to the QCTP compound mod: http://www.mini-lathe.com/Mini_lathe/Modifications/JWE_QCTP/JWE_QCTP.htm Frank Hoose http://www.mini-lathe.com --- "bbftx

Roy, I agree that cutting hardened shims with shop scissors will mess the scissors up. I avoided that annoyance by not trying to cut the feeler gauges! I used 'em as is. They rarely got in the way

It's easier to shim between the tool & the toolpost; if you rubberband the shims to the tool, they're ready to go when you change tools. Feeler gauges are annoying to use because they're

You can shim under the toolbit itself. Feeler gauges are a convenient thing to use, since you can adjust to within a .001 pretty easily. Go to www.sears.com and type this part number into the

I know I should know this but ... My tools are hitting below the center of a workpiece and I need move the tool higher. I assume I shim the tool holder around the toolpost but with what? Is there a

John, Very clever arrangement, I like it. As you say there is an upside and downside. Upside is, quickly put in place with little in parts ... except the QCTP. Using the compound on a slotted

Hi Clay, I'm a newbie too and have been experimenting with milling in my lathe with mixed results. I added a QC toolpost and found that this allows a crude vertical adjustment via the tool height;

Clay, I agree with the other two responses. However, while I would not purchase a milling attachment, you may wish to try the Varmint Al homemade approach as an exercise. And to keep the cost of

Clay The mill/drill being offered by Homier might be an alternative, it is 199.00 which is only 70.00 than the attachment and will do a lot more work Clint

Clay, I've travelled the same road you are embarking on. I've milled on my 7x12 and on a Burke horizontal miller I bought last fall. I used the Taig milling attachment on my 7x12. You can get it

I'm finally up and running with my new 7 X 12 and I am having a ball! I would first like to thank all the 'old timers' (who are probably much younger than I) for all the help I have already gotten

Neil, I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but here are a couple of URLs that define symbols and

Would any of you be able to point me to a decent online tutorial/reference of CAD drafting standards? Been a looonnnggg time since I've done any of this, and I want to re-learn the symbols for finish

This answers some of the questions, like line styles, etc. That leaves finish marks as the biggest open question. Thanks, -Neil.
