Re: Mini Lathe Dividing Attachment
Hi Michael, The milling head is part of my Unimat DB200 lathe. I made an adapter for the mini lathe and it works very well within it's size limitations. By the way, I do have to thank you for your

Re: Mini Lathe Dividing Attachment
Very nice work Dick. From what machine did you get the cutting head mounted on your cross slide from? The Google Drive link worked perfectly. By the way, you can add a photo description in the details

Re: Mini Lathe Dividing Attachment
That worked nicely. All 4 pics pop up right away. Interesting header too, can you imagine a 7x16 mm lathe? Yes, I know, Micromark, but things just pop into my head when bored. The little tool post

Re: Reversing gear problem
On a "7x12", it's 14". The "12" is measured from the chuck face. All the Chinese minis except the "7x10" are so measured, AFIK. The Ten is center-to-center. At least, mine is. Mert

Re: Reversing gear problem
Good news. The old dried grease was softened by spraying WD40 into the joint on both sides of the pot metal casting so i could pull out the shaft and gear. On inspection i found the previous owner had

Re: Reversing gear problem
Be aware that denatured alcohol is drinking alcohol (ethanol) mixed with "something" to make it denatured (undrinkable). For the "something" I've seen gasoline, wood alcohol, and other people have

Re: Reversing gear problem
Many shellacs and varnishes use denatured alcohol as a carrier and that will also soften them later for removal. It's thin, cheap and available in the paint aisle at the store. It is also, as the
