Re: Proxxon MF70
They are not. In particular the table construction using aluminium extrusions is a bit flexible. It takes some care when twiddling the handle to get a nice even cut, but, apparently, it can be fixed.

Re: 795, 895 (etc) DC motors
Keith, I've been trying to draw this out to be able to use an end mill (90 degree angle obviously) to cut the notchs between the 'blades'. Is this how you envisaged it? My 3rd attempt, as you can see!

Hi Carl!I use a threaded left hand bolt or rod from the hardware store as a master. Diameter is irrelevant as it¡¯s the lead you are after, not the diameter.Dick

Re: SL1000 / DB200 Parts needed
Hi Gang: Since I received a thread cutting lathe (Smithy Granite) I have tapped thousands of hole, but only set the lathe up once for threading. And that was to guide a tap through an intermittent

Re: SL1000 / DB200 Parts needed
Depends. There are some holes that are too small to single point thread on some lathes. Granted, that well done single point is much more accurate than most taps and dies. Get Outlook for

Re: SL1000 / DB200 Parts needed
Why spend money on taps and dies you when you can cut your own by single point thread cutting? You will also end up with a superior result if you are careful. A challenge is also good for the brain

Re: HBM 4 Jaw chuck for Unimat SL
You're not reversing the screws, are you? The jaws reverse but the screws may only easily go in one way. Just a notion that comes to mind.
