I did not know a FB 7X mini-lathe group existed, but I'm not surprised. I am uneducated (ignorant) tho, so please educate me as well . John

Another cause of the lead screw problem is caused by the leadscrew support on the right sode of the lathe not having it's screw holes drilled correctly . ??? ??? animal

I for one don’t visit the Facebook 7x site and I know several others here who don’t. If it isn’t too much trouble I think the non-Facebook people in here would appreciate seeing your

I've only been using my 7x14 lathe for a couple of months, so I'm a real novice. I have purchased a lot of tooling and accessories, so a few thoughts: If you are thinking of another chuck, the 4-jaw

And then after all that, then you start to get to work on your lathe. By this I mean as you use it,you find so many things that need to be fixed or altered. Most of these will be necessary and some

I don’t think there is any advantage to metal over plastic for all the main gears. You could instead put that money to something more useful. A chip guarding cover over the apron gear is probably a
