Jerry,
The frame/ways are available at LMS and generally in stock.

As to which brand, the quality is about the same, and any differences
are within individual examples and there are quality control issues.
If both 7x10 and 7x12 fit the needs, pick by color; I wanted green,
but Grizzly is too high priced, so I have blue (Homier).

Hello, I am considering purchasing a second larger lathe. My first being a Sherline.

I am considering the lathe from Samuel Machinery and thought I would ask the group about the lathes and company before I part with hard earned dollars.

I am looking at the BV20 and BV25. But might go with smaller CH-350 since were I live is not permement and I may move in the next 3-5 years.

If someone has these products and wishes to e-mail me off list. Or point me to another groups to ask my quests that would be great. Thanks

is it possible to get the rail bed for the 12" lathe?

Jerry

Another way to do this without special tooling is to
work the carriage handwheel together with the
cross-feed using a rounded tool. With a little
practice you can cut a reasonably smooth radius.
Finish with a file.

I'm a beginer with my lathe. I have been practicing
facing, turning
and boring with good results.

My question is, how do you create a cure on a work
piece. I want to
make dies for an air planishing hammer. The radius
would be cut on the
face side. That is, instead of creating a flat face,
which I can now
do, how do I create a small dome on the end. I want
to create domes
that are almost flat to moderately curved.

Any tips and advice are greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Ed

I would still go for the Homier 7x12 (even if I had to pay shipping)
as it's only $299 and is 4 inches longer.

Eric,
Unless the info is on thier website, I don't know. I just happened to
see the flyer in our local newspaper. They seem to come thru here
about every 6 months.

Hi Matt, thanks for your quick reply. How do I find out where the next traveling
show will be? I really would like to avoid the shipping charges.
Thanks,

Eric Wolfe

I suppose I should specify, I would like preowned equipment.

OOPS!!! I goofed...it's a 7x12. < hanging head in shame>
sorry, Matt

Do a Google for Homier Distributing.....I got mine at one of their
traveling sales a few weeks ago. The price is the best I've seen.
They have the " Speedway Series" 7x14...# 03911.

Backlash of .004 on the mini-lathe compound is actually rather good,
but the compound is not adjustable as delivered. There is a method of
machining and tapping a brass plate of abount 1/4" flat stock to
be fitted to the back, underside of the compound which then can be
shimmed or setup with adjusting screws (like on the gibs) which allows
the compound backlash to be adjusted.

Hello everybody,
I'm another lucky person who got a mini-lathe for Christmas and I'm
having a great time with it. I'm new to metal turning but I've been
to both Mini-Lathe.Com and The Little Machine Shop sites and would
like to thank both for the info. I've been "dailing" the machine in
acording to book and the other info, but have a question. The
compound feed has about .004 slop in the in and out feed. Is there

a

way to adjust, or shim this out? My second question is while
adjusting the cross slide feed (three allens) I'm able to take all
the slop out when is all the way out, but when I move it "in" it
picks up some (about .002) slop. I've played around with the

allens,

but when I move the cross slide back out it gets really tight. I've
only adjusted (not lapped the jibs). Does anybody have any
suggestions?
Thanks for the help.

The spindle bore is limiting - it's a bit under 13/16". It can be
reamed to 13/16" (see the "Al's reamer" file in the 7x10 group, for a
loaner reamer.)
The 4" 3 jaw chuck that Wholesale tool had on sale has a 22mm thru
hole. To use it, you'll need to buy/make an adapter plate.

A little feed slop is necessary for the feed screw to not bind.
The standard way to deal with it is to always back out farther than
necessary, then advance to the desired position - the slop is
eliminated during the excess advance travel.
Sounds like you may have adjusted the gibs to a slight taper. The
adjusment goes quicker if you loosen the 2 outer screws and set the
middle one for comfortable movement near the center of travel. Next,
adjust one of the outer screws for comfortable movement with the
cross slide over it; then do the other screw. If you can't get
uniform comfortable movement, it's possible that one of the dovetail
surface is slightly out of parallel, lapping will fix it.

What I did when I got mine was take apart everthing that had to dow
tih the crossslide, got some fine grit sandpaper cleaned up
everything, get any junk outta there,lapping the gibs does help alot,
so I reccommend that, I am pretyt happy with mine, although I
personally wouldn't trust this thing to cut a thread without some
SERIOUS tweaking, cause I tried cutting threads numerous ties and
have failed, I am a machinist so its not like I don't know what I am
doing to...

good luck!
