Just another comment for you. You don't say where you are located, but keep in mind that the 8.5x16 lathe is only shipped via a trucking company and they cannot be shipped via UPS due to their

Since I have never seen an 8x16, I cannot give an authoritative response, which also relieves me of any conflict of interest issues! It certainly is a nice looking machine, however. Sent: Monday,

At $749 the Craftex CX704 is bit pricey. It is a SIEG lathe of the older design. For $10 more you can get the LMS HiTorque 7x12 <

@ajawamnet Thanks for the information. You have the LMS 7x12 you mean?

Hi Robert, Thank you for your advice. I didn't know any of that. I went to LittleMachineShop.com. First, I saw their 7x12 deluxe, which has 2 DROs, one on the compound rest, the other on the

Remember, these are SMALL lathes, and turn mainly small diameters, so you need the high end of the RPM range much more than the low end. Were I to use my 7xs for threading, I would use the hand crank

Here's a trick I use when shopping at HF. Go to their website and find the item you want (in this case the mini lathe) and add it to your shopping cart. Then apply the 20% off coupon code. If it

More of a Brushless DC motor than a stepper... it's bottom speed is 50RPM. BLDC: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brushless_DC_electric_motor The Craftex is what Engineman uses:

A while back. I did the same thing on a 8x12(14) lathe they sell.. It as 'on sale'. I walked in with a 20% coupon and ordered my new lathe for like $379 out the door@! That lathe now goes for $999.99

That's an even better deal. They had a floor model here too but it was in really bad shape and I don't think I would want it for half price. The various controls (motion control knobs) had at least

The Craftex looks like a Seig. Essentially the same machine as a Harbor Freight, Mico Mark, Grizzly, and Little Machine Shop (which has a much more powerful motor than the others.) Yes, it will run at

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase my first lathe, a mini-lathe, and hoping for a little guidance. I will be using the lathe for some learning and R&D in my home shop. I was initially seeking a 7x12

That is unfortunate. I use the 20% off coupons all the time, on sale items. The only restriction there should be is that you cannot combine coupons. Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 6:50 AM To:

Hi John, This is our website and as you said there are some other products waiting to go on to it, but they are still in the developmental stage. Also the site has been set up as uk only at the moment

Yes, I have a little oil in it, enough to keep the gears wet. I did not put a shaft seal on, I just sealed the lid to the apron with Permatex. Since I often tilt the lathe to clean it, any excess oil

I bought my mini lathe as a display model for 20% off PLUS 20% off with the coupon! PLUS it was on sale ( a few years ago ) for $399. I walked out with a new lathe for $255.36 plus tax. From:

Same deal for me in Cleveland. Seemed to good to be true, so I called their 800 number and they confirmed it could be used. At the checkout, the coupon scanned just fine. I was ready to argue if

Interesting idea, John. I haven't followed your link, but suspect it's one I've seen before, heating the screw while compressing the acetal on to it in a vice (or vise). Should work even better with

Interesting site. Not yet finished. www.icemaidenkits.com.? John L Spain

I haven't looked at that nut in a long time (since I drilled the recess into it so it seats better) but is there r
