I did buy an 7x10 Mini-Lathe simply because I could lay hands on one the day I decided I wasn't going to let the sun set on a shop without a lathe, and had a lot of trouble learning to use it. Turned

Hello: Not this one, nor was there an option for a spindle with flats. Problem is that I have the wrong size spindle ...? 8^° I opened up the motor to see what was going on bearings wise as I had

I took it as being posted in the wrong group (easily done) but interesting nonetheless, especially as at a quick glance some of the components look to be sourced from a Unimat 3. Model train stuff is

i dont think they were that well shown in the first photo of the tools in mass but there are small gouge and?skew tools in the set (new photo is of most of the small ones)

Hello Bill: You could buy a lot of canned food for $6000, the price of a DT100 laser printer! It is cool and makes a better mark than a Sharpie. ($1) Carl.

No harm, no foul, man! Sometimes it is interesting to see what kind of tools folks thing to pass off on us poor toolohaulics. ;) Like this

My apologies! Had to go back and look at the listing and saw that I had missed that the first time. Truth be told, I'm still not sure I would have noted the rail if it hadn't been pointed out. And I'm

Forgot to mention that when I started metalworking, I was making tools and weapons for my GI Joe Action Figure. When I grew out of that, I started doing auto body work on my own car, and a bit later

May have been the wrong group, don't think it was spam. It's a small lathe with similarities and differences between it and the Unimat lathes. I like some of what I what I saw in it, like the ability

it wont save a ton of space (about as wide as my pointer finger) but even a bit of space saved should give me the wiggle room to put stuff on without removing the tailstock in full, my mandrel that

Hello Jim: I started the thread. I'm a member of train and machine shop groups and there are others that are members of both. It was about a lathe built on top of a section of railroad track. Actually

"Train related" and " not generally interested in Machine Shop stuff" Makes me wonder if this was either posted to the wrong group or is SPAM. -- Jim Korman

Hi Gang: Hand held tools are traditional for wood turning, and can be quite fun. Production work is done with fixed tools similar to metal lathes. When I want to turn some dowels to a smaller diameter

I sharpen bits because I want to make lots of stuff, and not have to keep buying tooling. I can make and remake tooling in HSS for as little as a couple of dollars in initial investment, and keep it

I got your original message just fine with inline images. Your folow up message had html gobbledygook where the images should have been. Back to the actual topic... I've used a lot worse than that

You can hone them with a fine grain silicon carbide hone, sharpening stone, or slip stone. You can also use diamond hones. It will mess up the indexing capabilities, but that's not so significant for

For wood turning, I would degrease the screw thread and bed with solvent, blow dry, oil again later. When I am using the milling machine for plastics, I hold the tip of the shop vac right next to the

I guess I can't copy/paste images that way. (sorry about the mess!)

Lex, The replaceable tipped tool inserts are carbide, but low quality carbide so probably not very sharp. Whether sharp or not, they are "scraping tools" rather than "shearer tools" and they will

Two different lathes all right - both look to be utter rubbish. Take a good look at the saddle of the 'round head' machine. The best part of either m/c is the flat bottom rail used as a bed! paul B.,
