Too right! I had a gallon (1.25 US gallons) can of acetone, nearly full. It lurked untouched in the garage for 30 years. When I eventually needed some, it was empty. The top surface had gone rusty

Make sure you put the acetone lid back on TIGHT! I went to get a can down that was only two months old,and it was empty. The lid tightened up with about a 1/16 of a turn. Hard to believe that most of

WAM; nice job on that!

Mike, My error! I meant "z axis". Thanks for the correction. Dick

Hey guys I have an 2002 HF 7 by 10 that I was thinking of getting the LMS 14 in. bed and doing all the mods you can do with it, BUT giveing all the costs that will come up with it, would I be better

I've been using my HF 7x10 for nearly25 years. It is now fitted with a 3C collet closer I made, and I use if for stuff that has to stay concentric, even though taken out of the spindle & replaced when

Yes,you are the one,I could not?remember?your last name,my yahoo mail went on the blink and i emptied all my e mails to solve the memory problem,which it did not,the problem was in my security

Hi Dick, Now you are really confusing me. In message 69578 you said the on a lathe the Z axis was the long axis parallel to the lathe bed and also the spindle axis. Now you tell me that the spindle

I agree with your advice. I started out with a cheap Harbor Freight (Seig) 7x10 , and upgraded it as I increased my skills and interest in machining. For small diameter work, they are not bad

Ellis, It is not the work holding arrangement but the "main spindle axis" which determines the x axis. Dick

Hi Charlie, Well if it was you that John L meant then the comments seem to be pretty well deserved over your past history here. Nice to have you back. Gerry W Leeds UK________________________________

Bob and others looking to buy a 7x lathe I would not just write off any of the older lathes for the "new kid on the block" the new top of the line Sieg type with new motor and control technology,as

Bob, I've had a Real Bull 7x14 with gear box since May, and I love it. It did come with quite an accessory package, including a 4" 3-jaw chuck, (which is standard if you buy it from Big Dog), steady

Hello, John, Assuming I'm the Charlie you're referring to (a little presumptuous on my part since you made such nice comments!), I'm still here. I spent virtually the entire month of January traveling

Well it seems that all this time I've had it wrong.? Fortunately, I've never discussed this with anyone so it's my secret.? How it came to pass I'm not sure but my X Y&Z has always been to me that X

Thank you! I haven't had a chance to get back to this problem; but from the links and other reading, I'm on the right track now. Thanks again, Jeremy

Had a response from one of the eBay sellers that the Real Bull lathe does have a high/low gear box. It's still a possibility depending on what a follower ans steady rest would cost me. Bob

There are some exceptional home built CNC machines, some not easily quantifiable as a lathe, e.g. this one: < http://www.lathes.co.uk/stepperhead/ > The lathe and mill shown here are VERY capable
