Thanks for the comments on the gears. I thought it best to stay with the plastic gears for reasons mentioned in this thread. At some point, I may go with the 16" bed that LMS offers to upgrade my

Plastic gears don't disintegrate like Zamak gears ??? animal

"Given I said 'buy the cheapest,' I modify that to say, not the HF 7x10" On the other hand, that's what I originally bought and I used it for many years before buying the LMS bed-extension kit. The

This! the plastic gears are much easier to replace than metal parts of the lathe! In one of his lathe videos Mr Pete mentions this is one reason why they made the change gears for old Atlas lathes out

I work also in wood late And for very long work We just put x2 late front to front Probably not realy a good solution for metal work BUT A real solution if you have a second late Or back to back Jack

Hi Martin. I went with the Clough 42 based system. He has several YouTube videos about the design. Basically he sells a kit that has two boards that plugs into a Texas Instruments board and those two

Hi Ryan Some info on your ELS? Make (brand), cost, availability? Martin

I have a 7x14 and on a couple projects a x16 would really have come in handy. Using a live center in the tailstock really eats up space. On the x14 with a center in the tailstock I made a new 10 3/4

Oops, it was 2006 but I have a 7x14 not 16. I know it was the longest one available at the time, but I didn't realize that they snuck a longer one in since then. It has the old brushed motor. Now it

I run metal gears in place of the 80 tooth gears.? They are noisier but I'm a bit hard of hearing, so I don't mind. ralphie

Well, I'm glad I got my 7x16 because I have needed it several times. It let's me not worry about space most times. As to plastic gears, I hate plastic. Now saying that, I have broken a plastic gear

Interesting discussion. I have a 7x10 and it has been able to anything I've wanted to do so far. I'm still learning and getting better :) What does the group think of changing the plastic gears out

Sounds about right. The $729.95 that I said mine cost included the $65 extra shipping charge they tacked on. So the lathe was 664.95 without the extra shipping charge on top of the regular shipping

I bought my MicroMark in 2011 on sale for $679.00. I love the BLDC motor. No noisy gears, just a nice quiet purring sound.

Hmmmm, are you sure about that year (2006) for a 7x16? I was looking for a mini lathe and I recall Micro-Mark releasing the 7x16 in the spring/summer of 2010. Micro-Mark was the only place that was

My Micro Mark 7x16 was $496 in 2006, but they have been improved since then. Brian

I've gone the other direction. I got the Harbor Freight 7x10 because it was small enough to fit in my workspace and sufficed to do what I have needed it to do (so far!) Being able to pick it up and
