Hi folks,
I've been flirting with the idea of a benchtop lathe
for some time,
and it would be used mostly for photo/telescope
adapters and parts.
Most of these do-hickies max out at about 2.5" diam.
and a few inches
long, and many would be threaded at .75mm pitch,
various diameters.
Here in Canada, BusyBee is the equivalent to Grizzly
et. al. Same
machines, different label. So....these are a couple
of things I'm
wondering about:
What is the largest diameter stock I can chuck into
the chuck? 3"? 2"?
I know the thread range is something like .05 - 2.0
mm, but what are
the steps? Or to cut to the chase; can I cut .75mm
threads?
On a more general level, how do you folks find the
quality of the
small lathes? Is a lot of tweaking and modifying
required, or do they
work quite well out of the box?
Thanks,
Bob
