Re: Wanting to buy AXA 250-111 - wanting opinions on which brand

I did just that in a class or two at Monroe Community College.? As the old guy auditing the course they pointed me at the donated drops supply and said make stuff for your shop.? The wheels came from Amazon for under $10 and seem to work fine on aluminum.? I haven't needed to do anything in steel yet but I don't think it will be a problem.? Pivots and wheel axles are 1/4" dowel pins, bolts are 1/4-20.?? I really should make a knob, the wooden one is from my CNC router clamps.? Arms should have been about 1/8# shorter, it is a bit tight to get onto the stock without opening it up all the way.

? is a knurler you can make yourself, though they'll be happy to sell you one, if you prefer to buy. Yes, it's for mini-lathes, but most of the accessories I bought or made for my HF 7x10 fit the Atlas TH42 as well. MT3 Spindles, and MT2 Tailstocks, for example...? Some adapter plates for chucks and such.?

Expect in one hand, expectorate in the other. See which one gets full first.

As always, I really appreciate this site and the members.? Thanks for the info.? I did look at Shars, but in this case they are more expensive.? I think I will look into, when I get more hours under my belt, a scissors knurler.? I ordered the 10 piece system.? Maybe changing the knurling tool to a scissors type will be a future project for fun.? I also will definitely take it apart (and take pics!) and clean it first.

Merry Christmas!
