this year but the
wife might have a another opinion when she sees the
bills for all of
the tooling I'm buying.

Frank your web site is great. I'm in the process of
building the
carriage stop and lock and your text and pictures
are really helpful
for a novice like me. I'm looking forward to the cam
action tool post
and hopefully other interesting projects and topics.

Have a Happy and safe Holiday,
Pat

Hi All,

Just discovered this group and I'm impressed with

the amount of good

info and helpful and knowledgeable members.

I've only had my 7 x 10 for a few weeks but so far

I'm having a ball,

making piles of chips and gadgets, some actually

useful. I also

bought a minimill but as it's a christmas present

for me, the wife

says it stays under the tree untill christmas. I

can harly wait.

another faceplate and mini lathe drill chuck,
because I will need those for
a current project.

Any suggestions?

That's the same lathe that Homier sells, From talk around, you are just as
well to by it direct from Homier so the warrantee items are easier to deal
with
Clint

He is what HF has on there version, currently is $399 from their catalog, the store may have a sale on them, plus if your patient the catalog will have them on sale again soon.




Jerry

That little lathe looks like the one I got from HF, except mine is red. I paid $325 for mine if that give you a point to reference from and that was 3 months ago.

Jerry

Is this the same lathe that Homier.com sells?

John,
You must be thinking of Edelstaal. I'm sure that's the right spelling.
They sold Unimats / Maximats for Emco I believe, so that may be your Austrian connection. Although I don't think Edelstaal was an Austrian company --- they sold machines from other countries too. For example, Reliable Tool was recently selling an Italian lathe by Pedretti that had the Edelstaal name on it.

Roy,
Strange, I am a Regional Planner for Telecommunications, I used to teach it at university. The last few years, we did not have pencils and paper, we had computers. So you have the knowledge to say "what kind of idiot designed this?" :->

Jerry

I'm trying to run down a connection to a combination machine from
some time back. It was a mill drill lathe from Austria , I believe.
It was called an Edelstadt but I cant get the spelling right to find
it . Couple of extra vowels in there somewhere – they forgot to
change it into inches or English or something. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jerry,
I actually can be considered to be a design engineer - I'm one of
the rare MEs that had lots of shop experience before getting a
degree. I'm also one of the rare MEs that can handle sharp, pointy
objects without hurting himself :-)
The tools that are always on a corner of the bench, to handle
anything, include: an 8oz brass hammer, a utility knife, a 3/16" flat
screwdriver, a #2 Phillips screwdriver, a pair of electricians
scissors and a ratty 1/8" screwdriver/prybar/chisel.
Inertial bullet pullers are cool - they work perfectly and look
like a disaster-in-progress.
Gaah, I'm not bad mouthing hammers or their users - I happily use
them. What I am bad-mouthing is the use of hammers where a screw
would be a better choice! Let's not fall into the trap of thinking
everything looks like a nail, because the only tool we own is a
hammer!

These are

the type that look like a hammer. It has a collet that hold the rim

case.

Hammers can be your friend!

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 to do a lot of
panel beating with my motor racing (:o( But even parts of a lathe can
take a copper or rubber hammer in the right hands. I also used to
build model ships up to 4 feet long from brass sheet.
Regards
Ken
