Hi again

I found an auction on ebay for the 7X12 mini bench lathe made by
speed way.


ViewItem&item=3102472367&category=25288

Is tis a good choice at only 300.00 dolars I am not sure and would
hate to buy it and have to buy another 6 months later cause it wont
do all the things I want.

basically I want the lathe to do all the things a large lathe can
just on a smaller scale.

turning theads on the outside as well as on the inside of a piece.
shapeing and cutting.

any input you can give as to the suitability of this unit would be
greatly appreciated.

thanks

This the HF, Grizzly and other brands mini lathe. You found one by another name. I would go direct to the distributor, to avoid any warranty hassles.

I have this same lathe, and I got it off ebay for $299. So far I am
happy with this lathe, although I am afraid you can't expect the
lathe to do all the things its bigger brothers can do. Although it
can do internal, external threads, tapers, turning between centers
and stuff, jsut on a much smaller scale. There are many
modifications you yourself can make to this little machine to make it
even better, this is the best bang for the buck. I also reccomend
going through Homier.com rather than ebay, shipping may differ by
about 8 bucks more, the ebay is a big hassle IMO. Hope I helped!

BTW check out www.mini-lathe.com they have a comprehensive review
on this very lathe.

First let me say thank you for all of your input..
Now I have just one more question for you all. at least one more till
I actually get my Lathe.

If money was not a big deal, what mini lathe would you most like to
own? and why?

ok two questions.

I dont mean to be a pest or to monopolize the conversation, I just
like to be sure before I buy a tool that I am going to get the most
use out of it I can...

Thank you for your patience and advice, they are both apprieciated.

Jmm well to stay in th relm of mini lathes,(7x's) I would probably
say a micro mark because of the true standard markings and intervals,
which makes for more accuracy IMO, although if money were not abject
I would go with a 9x20.
