Re: rotary table re-engineeering
Strange that you asked this on a Mini Lathe group. I had a discussion last year about doing exactly this turn out getting a large 90¡ã angle piece to mount the rotary table to was the best solution.

Re: rotary table re-engineeering
I assume it mounts horizontally now, right? If so, no need to hack it. Just put it on an angle plate. Mike Taglieri [email protected]> wrote:

Re: Indicator holder - 3d printed
Here is a 3D printed part being finished on my HF Mini Lathe. My printer seems to make round parts with about 0.1 mm out-of-round. This is a PLA part for a robot-dog shoulder that will have a couple

Re: Misplaced hole
Tom, I had a similar issue with my MicroMark 7x16. I had two issues contributing to the poor mesh of the rack and pinion gear. (1) I moved the rack down for a better fit as others have done. (2) The

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I didn't think of the problem with positioning the new hole close to the original hole filled with JB Weld. So it sounds like I dodged a bullet there. Thanks. I
