Hello Gang: I received a message from the seller of the rail based lathe, and they said they are selling the lathe with the 4 jaw chuck. (self centering) Carl.

Here is the final work of art with the Unimat head mounted and the 2 1/2" Sherline handwheel installed on the top shaft.? I made a little brass pointer.? With washers under the hand wheel, the head

@juliushenrymarx The flat on arbor is more than OK. Set screw will naturally? try to find its lowest position. As *Bill in OKC* says,?you don't need (in the beginning?:) expensive tools but more

Get or make a set of parallels for your machine vise. That can be flats of metal precisely ground to different heights, or round stock the same size or a bit smaller than the part you're clamping in

Hello: Here replying to myself ... Pity posts here cannot be previewed/edited/corrected, at least for the first 24 hours. Syntax errors/spelling mistakes and bad photos don't look nice. Done. Shaft

Hello: Can't say how hard but a file does not skate off. You don't get to mark it just so but slow and easy will do it. A sharp file and patience will surely get me there. Yes, that would not be an

How hard is the motor shaft? Will a file cut it, or does it just skate off the surface? If it's not too hard, you could put the pulley on the spindle where you want it, put a punch that fits the

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
