Many thanks for the reports! Have you checked if the spindle has indeed tapered roller bearings? Cheers, Kaj gcvisalia@...> wrote:

I had that same issue with my chuck. On the hanging up part I found the end of a thread kind of folded over. I carefully filed that off and now my check works nicely. george

Re: New 7x12 delivered and on the bench.
No. Both so called bearings were just bored out holes. Nothing fancy at all. A real mess to be honest. By lathe was not remotely ready to be used out of the box so to say. Nothing moved smoothly,

This evening I discovered that the 'thickness of the way at the rear varied by 0.005" from end to end, making it difficult (impossible) to get the gibs/plates under the saddle properly adjusted. The

I was just curious about the model number. Everything about that lathe sounds like it is a Real Bull or clone than a Sieg. The way wipers, full saddle, 4" chuck and slotted half nuts are standard on

It's Vevor Model TQ0635 Is there an explanation somewhere about the Vevor model numbers?

On the Vevor, it's rectangular. On my MicroLux - "H" shape - so more work to make a carriage lock. Saddle=carriage? I probably am using the wrong term.

George- that's interesting to hear about your MicroMark 7x16 - I think they are one of the higher priced versions of the Sieg 7x. My MicroMark/MicroLux 7x14 isn't too bad, but wasn't really ready to

Thought so, LOL. Have you looked at the half nuts???Do they have a slot in them for pins on the cam to engage?

Is the saddle an "H" shape or solid square???Is there a different model number listed, maybe starting with CJ?

Update: The 'way wipers' are actually pieces of rubber/soft plastic stuck on, with small metal plates and screws to hold them in place. They may be wipers but I think the main purpose is to make it

Re: New 7x12 delivered and on the bench.
Yea, the whole leadscrew thing on my micromark 7x16 was a royal mess. Near everything was off. I had to get the half nut mechanism functioning properly. Basically nothing worked properly nor smoothly.
