Agreeing with John regarding using a QCTP

I agree - and have a different set of tool holders for each lathe, set to the right height. ralphie

Facing a 3.5mm shim in the 4-jaw - absolutely not! Anyway- as I have said- the whole point of my post about the height of the compound was not to ask for solutions to a problem, but as a FYI for

Absolutely. But the lathe cost $400 USD delivered and I already had the milling attachment. The very cheapest 'benchtop' milling machine would be 4 times that price without a milling vise collets,

How about a "quick-change" tool post? -- Jon Titus Herriman, UT

What materials are you machining? I make most use of a 6mm diameter, 3 flute and 10mm diameter 4 flute end mills when milling using the vertical slide in my 7x14 lathe - mostly on aluminium, but also

Furthermore, the man has an even better way out, he doesn't intend to use the lathe as such but mostly as a milling machine. The choice of a minilathe for that purpose boggles the mind, but to each

If he doesn't trust himself to machine a 3.5 mm shim, I would doubt he'd take a go at the compound slide, anf likely for good reason. A failed attempt at a shim can be thrown out with a shrug, a

Just to clarify- I am looking for suggestions for the best milling cutters to start with - sizes and types. Thanks.

Thanks, Martin, but my question was about milling cutters...end mills, fly cutter, etc....I should have stated it more clearly.

If they're that different, it might be worth it to change them so they're not. Put the taller compound on the faceplate and turn it down until they match. Mike Taglieri [email protected]> wrote:

7x14 lathe with 500 watt motor, no Hi-Lo gearbox. I have a milling attachment and collet faceplate and collets. What cutters should I get to start? I don't have any specific projects in mind, yet.

That's a pretty handy tool , but your much better off using a test dial indicator . ??? ??? animal

It's an uphill? battle, Michael. Keep on fightin! :)

I’ve thrown this out there a few times, and I’ll do it once more in an attempt to clear things up. I was taught that when you have threaded portions of the nut on the top and bottom, it is called

Dunno for sure - I've never used one of those! I use a DTI + a Mitutoyo Zero It: < https://www.penntoolco.com/mitutoyo-zero-it-series-950-950-110/ > Roy

I'm just going to dedicate a couple of tools in their holders for the Vevor/RealBull. Or put tools in the stock holders and shim them to the right height to use on the Vevor. I'd never get a shim

Yes ! I forgot that ! I put new hardware in because the flat of the bolts were not flat. Once I did that it was much better. Most? likely the next time if I take it apart again, all hardware will be

Ok. Mine has two nuts or half nuts. On one area is a screw or bolt that limits the closing distance. I really had to clean up that mechanism including deepening the hole for the ball so that the lever
