Hi Bill, The problem began when you got into a taper? Hmmm. Well, I wouldn't go straight for the gibs. I'd look at the tool geometry, that it's set on the centerline, your cutting speed and the depth

Look at the underside of the bed; there are sometimes globs of paint that have to be removed to provide a clean path for the slide plates to travel. If that's not a problem, the easy way to adjust the

@ajawamnet Thanks for the information. You have the LMS 7x12 you mean?

Hi Robert, Thank you for your advice. I didn't know any of that. I went to LittleMachineShop.com. First, I saw their 7x12 deluxe, which has 2 DROs, one on the compound rest, the other on the

Remember, these are SMALL lathes, and turn mainly small diameters, so you need the high end of the RPM range much more than the low end. Were I to use my 7xs for threading, I would use the hand crank

Here's a trick I use when shopping at HF. Go to their website and find the item you want (in this case the mini lathe) and add it to your shopping cart. Then apply the 20% off coupon code. If it
