Howdy gang: I've come across an interesting looking, alternative tool post on ebay, of the likes I've never seen before. The seller does not mentio what advantage it has over thet nomral type tool

I just got my cumming 7x12 mini lathe, it came with 5 crappy 5/16" bits. They seemed to contact the work are a bit low, and needed to be shimmed UP. I like the idea of being able to use the indexable

I really don't wish to start ANOTHER oil thread. I followed some of the recent ones (which were good) and gleened some good information from them. Just one simple question. Does M.M.O. have any place

And that fractured English is a word for word copy of the Weiss website which Robin found. Weiss, Warco and Chester look identical in their respective photos. The only difference seems to be in the

hi Richard, For that sort of money, you can buy this: http://tinyurl.com/2uyhwz mind you, it'd take up quite a bit more space than a micro- or even a mini-mill. You should be able to get a milling

Hi, I too have a Seig 7x12 and have been wondering about milling too, The smaller lathe has a milling attachment one can buy - but it won't fit the 7x12 (I believe). Does anyone know of one that will

Some more ideas on grinding bits here: http://www.sherline.com/grinding.htm Rather than adjusting the angle of the grinder guide I used little wooden wedges marked with the angle and left the grinder

I have read that some folks have had a twist problem. Both my 10 and 14 in beds checked out good. I also use a piece of 24X6X3/8 steel plate to mount the bed to, with the wide feet under that. Help

Guys that should know, tell me that a lathe bed has almost no resistance to twist. You need to beg, borrow, or steal a machinist's precision level and check the bed, both at the headstock and near the

You well more than likely find the TS off set a bit. If your using a three jaw chuck you have some run out at that end also. The best either of my tree jaw chucks well do is .0015-.002. With a four

Hi Folks, If I can poll the collective wisdom on this I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure I have a problem, but I think so. Turning down a rod I get a 0.015" difference over 5.5", please see:

Congrats on the new toy^H^H^H^H tool! I got my Cummins not all that long ago and have had a lot of fun with it and also learned a lot. Was quite relieved that it was blue, I was afraid I was going to

I had the exact same results as you using that cheapie carbide set. I'm new to the lathe, so I'm far from an expert, but from my limited experience and everything I've read, the others are on the
