Re: Check this out ¨C walmart online shopping vevor lathe - Bing - Shopping
I have a Cummins also! I got it from my neighbor when he decided he was too old to safetly operate his machine tools. I also got my Clausing 8520 verticle mill and a Chraftsman 12x36 lathe and lots of tooling and lots of good stuff.

That's actually a very good price for a 7x14 lathe. I paid about that price for a 7x12 cummins many years ago, and it has been a very good machine.

you can wrap the work piece with s piece of cardboard like from
the bottom of a tablet & the adjust the fingers to fit the
cardboard . I think you can also use emery cloth turned inside
out.

Re: Extending cross slide travel -- what is the currently accepted best method?
There's one small thing I neglected to mention regarding my cross slide anti-backlash modification.? I put a short set screw in the now-unused middle screw hole to keep swarf out of there.? It also could be used as a place to put in a drop of lubricating oil, if one finds the need to do so.

Re: Extending cross slide travel -- what is the currently accepted best method?
Yes, the spring slips over the leadscrew.? I repurposed the old nut block, but did run into a problem.? I cut it on my mill with a slitting saw, but when I installed the nut in my vise I "squished" it a little bit so it didn't fit on the lead scew.? I bought a left-handed tap from LMS to re-do the threads and that worked OK, but it did make the mod cost a bit more than I expected it to.?
I bought the spring from McMaster-Carr, P/N 9434K72.? It compresses down to? .13" wide so the gap between the nuts has to be a little more than that.

The LMS Bed Extension kits (P/Ns 1928- 14" and 5000 - 16")? have the better pivoting hinged motor mounts.
