Hi Jerry, I have no problems at all with hammers, as I too have many of them, about half of them of the panel beating kind plus big ones and tiny ones including a copper one and a rubber one. I used

Ken and Roy, The art and the talent for using a hammer to align something has been around for many years. I have 60 plus hammers in my shop. Everything from a 4 ounce inertia hammer to 12 pound sledge

Ken, I do believe. I spent hours and hours, over several frustrating days until I got mine close enough to objectively leave alone. The only thing I hate more than pry bar adjustments is hammer

Hi, I have ordered a Milling Slide and table from Chronos. Has anyone else fitted one and did you have to do much to get it to fit? It looks a bit different to the "Little Machine Shop" one?? regards

Hi Roy, It WAS the motor out of alignment,but such a tiny amount you wold hardly credit!! The new brass cross slide nut and gibs fitted and it is great now Regards Ken <roylowenthal@y...>"

Nick, Yup this is pretty vexing 20 thou of taper is a lot. What is the lenght of the piece the taper is over. Did you do the facing cut with the compound screw or the cross slide screw? Do you have a

Nick, Did you do your facing cut by moving the compound or the cross slide? Taper when turning between centers is indicative of tailstock offset, tedious to eliminate on the 7xX lathes with their

Roy: The spindle shows fore/aft of .0005" difference. There is basically no runout of the face of the spindle when in motion. All gibs for the carriage, compound, and cross slide are adjusted with

Hi Bob: I've never seen a bb lathe but I understand that there seems to be some small quality changes that make it somewhat better than the usual 7 x 12. In fact I remember someone saying they had

Bob, Where in Canada are you? Jerry

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.

Good Morning Bob: Here is what I have so far: Stock is 3/4" 12L14, HSS 3/8" cutting tool - sharpened & honed, 3 jaw on hs and live center in ts. With stock either chucked or supported by ts, I have

Ken, The belt always going to the same side sounds like the motor shaft is not exactly parallel to the countershaft. On the 7x10 group, J.W. Early posted a hinged motor mount mod. that makes alignment

Check list time: What are you cutting, type of metal/plastic, diameter and length. How is it chucked, 3 jaw, 4jaw, between centers or combination. Type of cutter, hss, carbide, a u-grind or factory

After setting and checking my Homier 7X12 lathe 9 ways to sunday, I am still turning tapers! As carriage is advancing towards the hs assembly, the hs cutting tool starts to chatter, no matter what

Hi Roy, That certainly is a comprehensive web site. Thanks for pointing me to it! My belt doesn't 'walk' really . I centre it and by the time its done a half turn, it is already at the side, it then

Hi Jerry, Thanks for that advice. I have just got one of the sanders you describe I will look at it tomorrow. In answer to your question, I'm a sea captain, my last ship was an Ocean tug of 4,600
