Superglue can work for small parts, but I would not trust it for large.? Keep in mind that the tool force on the rim of a 6" disc is SIX TIMES that of a 1" disc.? And an interrupted cut could send

One thing I forgot to mention was it might not be possible if it is a cast iron flywheel.? I don't think the material was mentioned. Cast iron typically has a VERY hard surface scale.? It requires

Is it something that ya have to machine to a certain tolerance or is just something that has to be pretty close to what yer after ? If there's no tolerance needed drill a small hole in the center &

With a live ball bearing center run it up.agains the work piece to help hole it in place. You can also put some holes in the part and boldt it to the face plate. John Mattis [email protected]>

I have used superglue many times to hold small jobs. It works, especially for thin parts such as aluminum sheets, etc. I also want to share a strange experience. I found the original ($$) superglue by

How will the flywheel mount to the engine? Maybe drill a smaller hole where the hub will go and mount it on an arbor to turn it? What do you have to do to it? Any opportunity to clamp it to the

While challenging, you can probably do it on the 7 inch lathe.? Getting the cutting tool out that far will be a bigger challenge than just holding it. Superglue can be a legitimate method for work

I have a 6" x 1" round piece of aluminum that I need to turn into a flywheel for the model engine I am building. I was thinking of using superglue to secure it to my faceplate as it obviously does not

I've thought about using it for a magneto tester, but I haven't done it yet. Brian

I hoping others post other uses for mini lathe . I have it paints lines shafts. Note use bedway covers I like plywood with cleats to hold in place Winding coils. Please post your other uses Dave

For screw machines they a lubricating cutting. The only two problems with oil coolant is cost and it is not clean. Dave

Such coolant is called "flood cooling."? It is water with emulsified oil and usually rust inhibitors.? Water conducts heat well, but oil does not.? Oil lubricates well, but water does not.? The

It this still true? The professional lathes I’ve seen all seem to be enclosed in a plexiglass enclosure and are pouring a flood of coolant on the part. How does this coolant interact with the

I agree The main lathe I owned and used for amost 30 years a 17" i purchased new. Keep well oil and no wear on any part of lathe. The lathe did have a oil bath cross slide screw The only lathe new

I suspect that in the mini-lathe world, most get relatively light and intermittent use.? So low, that you probably couldn't wear the ways all that much during a lifetime oiled or not.? The greater

The manufacturers found biggest wear to bed ways on lathes and Mills.? ?Is no lubrication. The manufacturers have putting automatic pumping oil but still the machinist can not fill the the oil tank

I agree ? Dave

Yes. Polish is abrasive and you don't want any getting on the ways. [email protected]> wrote:
