Re: My mini lathe
And, I unexpectedly had to use the lathe today.? When I got the milling machine, a box of parts was stolen in transit.? The vendor shipped replacements and all seemed well.
?
Well... I went to drill a long item and found the X-axis handwheel was a bit too big... hits something hanging off the end of the table.
?
That just won't do.? Now if I only had something that could make a round item smaller...
?
?
Now it fits.? Some day when I have black spray paint for something else I'll repaint this.

My mini lathe
Here's what I have.? I used to have a Grizzly 7x14 but sold that when we moved.? Of course I bought a bigger lathe for the new house and made sure the workshop is heated.? I hated working in freezing weather in the old house.
?
The picture is right after we got it, but then we were away quite a bit due to unforeseen political events.? We're now back and don't plan any long trips so we're busy finishing the house and the lathe is finally getting used again.
?
 ?
We also got a new mill to replace our old one also left behind.? We need to finish installing this, but it's working fine as is.
