I am assuming you are using a 3-jaw chuck? It would then be normal to be off a little. This is due to the accuracy of how well the chuck can work. (Mainly, the scroll in these chucks just isn't all

I am working on a 3/4 SS 303 rod and trying to get it centered in the chuck of my HF 7x mini lathe, and it seems to always be off a little. I used my mag base dial caliper and can get it close but not

The gib on my cross slide had conical dimples, no doubt made with a drill bit. The ends of the adjusting screws weren't pointed or turned down in any way; they were just plain screws, threaded right

Give me a few days to find it & then I’ll e-mail to you personally off thread. Dave

I had the same problem with my cross slide of my South Bend 9”, I’m also going to do the same with my 7X12. I took the advice of Geo Thomas (It was either him or Guy Lutard) & drilled & pinned the

my cross slide is either too tight to move (more or less) or too loose.... I can't seem to get the right combination using the set screws.... I'm thinking that maybe there is a tweak or two that I can

Yes, as far as I know, "town gas" or "coal gas" in the traditional sense is obsolete. And a good thing to, it was full of CO and a very dirty process. Almost every old gas plant site is highly

We switched from coal gas (carbon monoxide) when I was a kid in New Jersey, that would have been the early 1960s. I remember the gas company had to come in and change the jets in our stove and water

The fools aren't the sellers, as long as there are people willing to buy. You are really talking about the people on the other side of the transaction. KL
