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,

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

One detail - the Vevor cross slide nut (M10 x 1.0 LH) is steel. On the MicroLux, it's brass.

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.

Re: New 7x12 delivered and on the bench.
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

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.
