Re: Here list of charts & Tables
The Machinery's Handbook I bought included a pocket reference, perhaps to reduce wear & tear on the big everything-but-the-kitchen-sink book.

I remember this post past . How is your mini lathe doing . If need good chart on imperial to metric drill sizes. I first one just left of my lathe see photo I send one. I have real good wall chart for

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Ryan, We're on the same wave length ! I already checked the lead screw for longitudinal deformation and else as well as the half nuts plus the whole alignment. I can't say that it's perfect because

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Thank you for your time. I explored a lots of solutions, it seems that the reason is merely the tight adjustment of the left bearing on the arbor. The dismounting operations are going soon, When done,

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Thanks Jon, I don't think so because the two bearings are #30206 as per the drawing / BOM, please refer to the documents I sent with one or my first messages (2025 01 25). Apparently, there's no

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
PR Here is a last photo, Maybe you have a stack up of plastic spacers that are flexing under momentary instantaneous load?? They seem to be tight, but they might flex and return to their tight

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
PR, Here is another image, perhaps the change in size of the shaft is interfering with the tightening of the nut and the outer stack of gears and spacers and aligning shaft keys? Again, Good Luck!

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Hello PR, I found this image This photo of a shaft clearly shows a stepped section near the shaft bearing area of the spindle.? If yours has a similar area, you will not win easily. Did you

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Gotcha. If it was me, I'd start with two things. First would be pulling the headstock apart and addressing the bearing adjustment problem. The inner race on the outer bearing needs to be able to slide

Re: Dismounting the headstock bearings
Ryan, I'm not speaking of alignment accuracy that would mainly lead to a machine a taper instead of a cylinder but of runout of the chuck that is currently resulting in an irregular machined surface.

Re: cutting with rotating cutter
Thanks Roy I am cutting clock wheels for my private clocks. Even though the Carriger has a very tight fit when I cut wheels, I feel there are a little bit twist when I return the cutter for next

Re: cutting with rotating cutter
Yes! Either method works, The carriage wheel gives more rapid carriage movement, a leadscrew crank gives more precise movement. Adding a leadscrew crank is pretty easy & gives you the option of

1/100mm is about .0003". Over what distance are you trying to maintain that? Just curious as it shouldn't be a problem on shorter lengths with everything properly adjusted and aligned especially the

cutting with rotating cutter
Question: Is lead screw a better tool to move the carriage correct in both direction than use the hand feed wheel? If so, I will make a crank on the right side of the leadscrew. (I am lazy, I do not
