Will I be happy with the Homier 7x12 mini lathe? Can I buy one anywhere in the La. Calif area?

First off allow me to introduce myself. My name is Hank and I am the proud owner of a new Homier mini-lathe. I've wanted to buy one for a long time now and finally took the plunge! Very nice machine,

I was just wondering if other members had encountered a problem with the failure of what I call the startup safety system. When I first got the lathe, when starting up the machine, the lower amber

Good morning Jacko, on the occasion that I'm turning CRS, usually the type of cutting bit I'm using and the finish that I want dictates the depth of cut. I use mainly carbide (started with

hello. I am pretty happy with my new 7x12 mini lathe but was wondering what size cuts others are making on cold rolled steel. I've gotten used to making .100+ cuts on 2" CRS on the backgeared South

Also, the error is in the direction of removing less metal - it's easy to take another pass with a small advance to final diameter. If the early cut was too big, no amount of cutting will

I converted my mini mill to belt drive, eliminating the nylon gears, and converted "Z" axis rack control to acme screw control, for more precise operation. Have all parts from conversions, NEW

Here's an example, which will hopefully make it more clear why the small error of the dials is usually insignificant: Suppose you want to turn a 1/2" diameter rod to .475" in dia. You start by

hello. Was just cleaning and lubing a new 7x12 as per the mini-lathe.com site. In that site, they use lithium grease on the dovetails and lead screws. Isn't this a bad idea? Wont the chips stick?

Don't be overly concerned about true inch leadscrews. The main (threading) leadscrew on the 7x lathes is true inch. The cross feed and compound are 1mm pitch with the calibrated wheels having 40
