Pete, I am switching to a standard sized holder ( I bought it last night at Radio Shack ) because the standard size is much cheaper and easier to find - even the Home Depot has them. Barry fuses. I

Thanks all specially the responsive guys here. My thanks and let to know the URL to go for mlathe (mod at YahooGroups.com) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mlathemods/ I got it with the best tool around

Thanks, all, again. I just got back from Radio Shack with a pack of the metric GMA fuses. I did that in the interest of time and wanting to get turning again. However, an inch sized fuse holder with a

G'day Paul. Things to make? I notice you include "wireless" in your handle. What push me over the edge to get a lathe was visiting a guy who makes reproduction antique radios. He had been turning

---Pete, Fast blow 1-1/4"X1/4". Check your machine, either 3A or 5A. Holders and fuses available at Radio Shack, or any elect. supply, or good hardware store, maybe even HD or Lowes. The hole in the

Excellent ideas - especially to all that suggested I change the fuse holder. Seems easy enough. Mine is a 5 amp GMA. Are these fuses fast blow, slow blow or somewhere in betwixt? 8-) Which American

Rare is in the eye (or country) of the beholder :-) The fuse is type M205 or alternatively GMA -- metric fuses, if you can believe that. You can find them easily with Google but may get hit with a

My family has a spending limit on Christmas gifts, so last time I made some ballpoint pens out of stainless and brass. The fun part is designing the click-click mechanism. I did it a little

Hi Pete, You might be able to find them at Radio Shack I would think. Give them a try. (I have no commercial relation to Radio Shack) Good luck, Mark get them locally?

I always thought a machined chess set could be nice. And something that non machining and non techno people would also enjoy looking at. It could even be viewed as an heirloom. I don't know if any

Can anyone tell me what size i.d./o.d. sealed ball bearings and allen head bolts to use to do the steady rest ball bearing mod? I see all sorts of sizes available on eBay. thanks, Herb W.

Hi Chris, Heee - I got a bite! No offence intended 'bout the cattle. I always figured the small one had to be compat. But what's this about LMS fallibility! I never factored that into my thinking!

G'day Rance. IMHO and my experience I would use HSS paricularly as you intend to work mainly with brass. First you must get an bench grinder, 6 inch wheels as a minimum. Then get some key stock or

No need, you can get the PDF from the inventor of the gearbox himself. Richard posts here from time to time and has a web site with a number of interesting items.

G'day rance. All you have been told so far is sound, if perhaps confusing. IMHO; chuck selection will depend on what stock you get. Round and hex stock only needs a 3 jaw self centering chuck, it will

This is a great opportunity to express an opinion that has been building up ... (subject to other's differing opinion, of course). Working on the mini-lathe (even metal working) is not a hobby! How's

please give more details ... How do I find "mlathemods group" thanks

Uh-Oh, I was finally playing with my newly purchased used Micro-Mark 7 x 14 and popped a fuse. No big deal, methinks, and I stopped at the local Ace Hardware to get another. Much to my chagrine they
