The 7x10 will easily handle any of the chores on your list. You will not be able to take off the full 1/8" in one pass, though. With skill and a sharp toolbit, you may do it in 2 passes, but 3 is more

Hi Tom, All the 7x lathes are great little machines and the x10 is often very cheap but you really need to ask if the bed length is going to be enough for your needs now and in the foreseeable future.

Thanks Jerry. I had always thought that fairly rigid frequency control was essential for computers to work without giving problems. Must have got this idea from the olden days of TV sets. Power here

I found them at Ace Hardware.... Bob

I got mine from Little Machine Shop. John

thanks for the offers and ideas fellas. First I'll try to file it down (or have it milled). If that fails, purchase is the next step. Too bad I'm not from US - shipping will be enormous :)

Does Lowes carry these button head screws for the cross slide? I'm soooo sick of bashing my knuckles on the dang cap head screws on there now... Whomeever thought of using the cap screws on there

The answer to 1, 2 and 3 is yes. If you're not familiar with threading, do some reading first. As to milling, it all depends what you want to do and how you're thinking on how to set it up. I haven't

Steven, I happen to have a tailstock body without the piston [forgot name]. I will sell for $15.00 plus shipping. Suggestion. You can use the lower part to repair the existing tailstock. The upper

So I've decided on the HF 7" x 10" lathe. For the longest time I was leaning toward the Tiag Lathe. But my Grandfather left me his tools and most of them will work better with the HF. The Taig uses

Stefan, Could it be that the tail stock base is poorly machined in the v way area? Mine was not machined with a good finish in the v way groove or on the flat way surface. I applied 120 grit wet-r-dry

Yours is probably fixable. With a little careful filing, you should be able to make the "V" fit against the "V" on the bed. Once they match, you might need to install a shim between the upper & lower

Alan a very good summary in my opinion. Can I also suggest you could go one step further and buy a battery bank, a charger and a DC to mains inverter. This way you could have a bank of batteries as

I think this description could be confusing. The usual sort of "UPS" sold for use with personal computers passes the mains current through to the computer while maintaining a floating charge on the

{note: some people list the stabilizer function as a regulator or automatic voltage control } The voltage stabilizers from APC are about $40 delivered for 1.2kW. These adjust for over/under voltage

I can make you one, if you want. I have replaced that part on all my 7x lathes with one that will stay aligned. $25 postpaid in the US. I have also converted the TS on my lathes to lock with an

it is locking down properly, but in one case it locks ok, in other its a few degrees to the left. I've checked the V groove, its not aligned from the side thats closer to the chuck.

That's the same as we have, and there is a 10 second auto delay before the generator cuts in, so as to give time to differentiate between a mains dip and a power cut, the genny runs until it is

Are you sure it is messed up? It is possible to rotate the keeper plate 90 or more degrees and then it won't lock down properly. Check this out before replacing! Bob
