I need to machine some wider material. Googling I can find lots of approaches and I'm struggling with what is considered the best approach in 2022 (ideas tend to evolve). Gordon Scotts:

After cleaning the metal chips out of the gears in the apron; I used my scroll saw to make a plastic cover for the gears. To grease the gears I used some Mobil synthetic grease. Now the carriage moves

You make a good point, Mark! As long as it is performing to your satisfaction all is well. Over time the saddle should settle into a comfortable spot on it’s own.

Update. I found some adjustment issues with my saddle's shimmed slide plates (say that 3 times fast!).? Their mounting screws had loosened up a bit over time, permitting the saddle to ride up a bit

John, I was in the process of performing RDM when I found the issue described in my original post.? Since the saddle is unstable there was no point in continuing with RDM until I figure out what's

Mark, I ran into saddle slop and found it was caused by ridges in the carriage "V" on my lathe. It is worth checking for this since it is easy to detect and fix.? See:

I hand scraped all the sliding surfaces of the carriage and cross slide on my 7x16. I was also able to get the cross slide scraped square so I am able to face square with .0002” concavity over 1”.

I agree with Roy. The top surface of the bed is the only precision ground part of the machine, so don't lap or modify it. What you do is use the surface of the bed as your reference for modifying

Some good comments!? ? ?Give me more homework :)

Mark, I think .005” variation is a lot over 10”. I think it sounds as if there is a issue with the fit of the saddle as you eluded to. Is the saddle pivoting or twisting on the ways? If so, do you

The top of the bed is surface ground at the factory - it's the? reference surface for everything on the lathe. The mating surfaces on the carriage & HS are NOT ground & may well be misaligned. Check

For various reasons today I decided to check the spindle alignment on my 7x12.? I have a 12 inch 3/4" diameter polished Thomson guide rod I bought awhile back just for this purpose.? I removed my

pdfdrive.com?? , don't get discouraged the book titles when the page loads , you have to search for the book or tye of book your looking for . animal

When I first got my mini-lathe, I fabricates a plastic cover for the gears and dillie the cavity behind the cover with some cup grease. This was 20 years ago and I have had no problems with it.

Do you have the url for these books?

Some time ago I put together a list of free books online of interest to machinists; go to the link below and scroll down to "Books and Manuals - Free" :

Saw this on the Metal-Shapers-and-Planers group. At first glance it looked like the usual fluff for bored housewives and New Age kooks. BUT it has Volumes 1 and 2 of the Machinist's Bedside Reader,
