Hi All, Would it be possible for abbreviations to not be used? As this is a forum for old timers and newbies, there are many of us who don’t know what these abbreviations stand for. It doesn’t

John, Great advice, but I offer a slight modification…….. Remove the chuck and check the arbor runout on the internal taper. I’ve never been happy with the chuck mounting on those three studs,

Not sure how much run time you have on your lathe. Check the front spindle bearing by placing a piece of board on the ways under the chuck (protection)? Put a piece of bar under the chuck and with a

Just a heads up. LMS has their 16 inch bed extension kit on sale for $99.95 This is only for their LMS 7x12 HiTorque lathe. It includes a bed casting, a lead screw, a rack, a chip pan. NOT a bolt on

Hope somebody can give me some info. I believe the change gears on the 7x lathes are 1.0 module. Can somebody please tell me the bore and keyways for the gears. By the way, what is the smallest gear

MessageI've found the 14" bed on the 7x12 long enuf, & even the 10" one on the 7x10 with the chuck off and using 3C collets is long enuf, too. I agree about the camlock TS clamps & made 'em for my 7x

Thanks for that great info Michael. I wasn't aware of all the differences. For me now, it looks like either the LMS 7x12 Deluxe, or the LMS 8.5x16 with 1000W BLDC, dual DROs and power cross feed. I've

All true, but I've bought 3 that worked with no problem out of the box from 3 different resellers, non of which claimed to "check out & adjust" before reselling, as MM does. Merely making an
