It is definatly a depth micrometer. I have been working to adapt one to the tailstock of my Cumins. You could have one on every axis for less than $20. Sometimes better is the enemy of “good

This IS a depth micrometer. It's accurate to two decimal places. It's just being sold as a tire tread gage. Assuming it's properly made (not a guarantee with Banggoods stuff), I see no reason why it

I haven't solved the problem of my Sieg/MicroLux lathe trying to cut tapers all the time. I think there are a bunch of different variables with the tailstock barrel, and the different centers I'm

There's a big difference between $10 and $150+ for most of us.

Pierre, If a tire tread depth gage works for you, use it. As for me, I will choose a depth micrometer any day.

FYI; This is an answer if you are looking for a cheap depth gauge. Fidgety, but it works. Pierre?

That looks handy!

Yesterday's project was the tailstock on the Microlux 7x14. I added an adjuster, following the instructions in Ted Hansen's book. It works well. I also changed the clamp bolt to a 1/4-28 which

I'm finding quite a lot to like about the RealBull as I work my way 'up'. Today I worked on the carriage lock and cross slide(additional) gib screws. There are some nice machined surfaces in the

Thanks! I am liking them a lot. Making them without a mill was interesting. :) Epoxy and CA adhesive for holding workpieces- they have changed the game completely.

Hehe.? I need one of those signs too!

Crossing off items in the ToDo list, slowly. Today: Tapered gibs for the carriage done (..that task was spread over 3 days in all- a few hours each day). Half-nuts (split nut) wasn't engaging properly

Bruce, Your posting titled? -->"*1 Half nut vs 2 half nut*", <-- references a carriage lock... . Is this what you are asking for?

I use a Unimat DB200 vertical milling spindle on my 7x16 Mocro Mark minilathe. This works good for me. I can use end mills from 1/32” to 3/8” and larger at times. I can also use The Unimat

Thanks, Chris. I've heard that the carbide tools don't like any sort of shock loading, so I'm buying a bunch of tools from different Chinese sellers.

I have one of those milling attachments. I don't use it anymore because I now have a mill. But with the attachment, you will only be doing the smallest of jobs. Perhaps cutting a keyway slot on a

At those rotational speeds, everything must be well balanced. The turbine, bearings, and burs for high-speed air-drive dental handpieces are designed to spin at up to ~ 400,000 RPM and deliver an
