Re: A (maybe?) different cross slide travel extension?
Ryan,
The center to center distance is .590¡± for the nut mounting holes.

Re: A (maybe?) different cross slide travel extension?
Wow!??That's awesome Dick!??I'm sure mine won't turn out near so fancy but I hope it'll be functional!??You wouldn't happen to know the center to center distance on the two screws that mount the feed nut by chance???I think getting those holes located, and making the flat bottoms for the screw heads is going to be one of the bigger headaches of this.?

I did a similar cross slide extension about 3-4 years ago on my MicroMark 7x16 minilathe.
There are pictures in the photos section of this group. Look in ¡°old_toolmakers album cross slide travel extension¡±.

A (maybe?) different cross slide travel extension?
I have added two ball bearings to the cross slide screw by boring a hole into the retainer for the bearings and head on the screw to recess into. Doing that cost me about 1/4" of travel towards the??operator. Not much but I'd like that back and them some while I'm at it. If I'm going that far I might as well add some away from the operator while I'm at it.?
For the away part I'm thinking about all that is going to be required is to extend the screw. I'm thinking drill and tap the end of the screw, threadlock an extension in, turn to diameter and pick up the left hand thread and thread the new section. I know it's 20 tpi but I'm not sure what diameter so I'd just match the existing size???I'm thinking that should work. Am I missing anything?
For the towards the operator end I know LMS sells an extended travel kit that includes a milled saddle to allow for the travel because the nut hits but what I'm thinking is this...??Move the nut farther back on the slide, away from the operator. Wouldn't that effectively do the same by giving the nut more room to travel towards the operator???I realize all the other parts would need making and the screw would need an extension on the operator end of course. Am I missing something???
Thanks!

This looks like a SCAM.?

true.

My first thought is that it is a scam!
They show a Costco website but the URL is from makenye.com
Scam-detector shows this:
< >
Another way to detect a scam website is to refresh the page. When you do the
Available number goes down every refresh. This page goes down to 8 then
stalls.
Their contact is an outlook.com webmail address:
"We would love to hear from you, contact us on:
Email: vipservice77@..."
Please don't fall for this. You'll be fighting with paypal to get your money
back.
Call Costco and ask them about this lathe and you'll get a big "Huh!"

But that price seems to include both 3jaw and 4 jaw chucks!

Sadly it is 98.5% likely to be a scam! Too bad, I first thought it to be a cleaned up 7X12 with a misprinted price. Even at $970 with reasonable shipping it could have been a fair deal. Keep your credit cards in your wallets folks!?? Bill ? Sent from for Windows 10 ?
