Homier lathes have been out of stock for a few weeks. Their web site said expected on 3/14, and on the 14th they updated the expected date to 3/20. I tried to order one over the phone, but she said

I can't speak from experience, my 8x12 is on order too, but there are different grades of bits for different metals. C5/C6 is for ferrous metals and C2 for nonferrous metals. Were you using the

Hi Rance, Thanks for the response! As I have it set up now, it seems pretty sturdy, but the mount is heavy and it is indeed hanging all off one side. Once we get moved I'll be able to set up more of a

I'm convinced that the HF extended warranty is an even bigger rip-off then most of them, at least where the lathes & mills are concerned. If the item you purchased was less then $500 (not certain, but

How in the world were you able to not only order an 8x12 from a HF store, but use the 30% off coupon? I would have killed to have been able to get an X3 from a local HF retail store with a 30% off

Well, I OFFICIALLY went down to HF today and ordered my 8x12. Prices in the mags are now $529, and in-store prices show $549. Well, I had made previous arrangements to use the 30% off coupon so even

Vikki, Its good to hear from the ladies here. After looking at the pic of what you bought, I can't see it being very sturdy as designed. I think I would go with something like what Barry built. The

I purchased the wood rest package from LMS also. Most of the time I put a round bar in the tool post since it is quick and most of the time I am just putting the final contours on the piece being

Vikki, I took some poor pictures and they are posted here with some notes http://mysite.verizon.net/vzeqv2es/id1.html If you have any questions let me know. In fairness to LMS, the spur center is very

Hi, What might be missed is that the motor is running unloaded. While it is not at all unusual to run the motor for minutes at a time, the temp rise for an unloaded motor running continuously for 1

Chris, a postscript. Warco's stand is expensive for what you get, so save your money and make a wooden one. No need for massive timber - the lathe is probably lighter than you are, and chairlegs are

Before I made a quick-adjusting toolpost, I kept a vitamin bottle full of old feeler gauge blades. Select an assortment of blades, scrap sheet metal, or whatever that give you the adjustment you want

Vikki, I bought it and was not very pleased. As you saw, I could never get it to the right height. Plus the tool rest was not rigidly attached to the round bar portion of the post which controls

As others have pointed out this really doesn't seem out of the norm. Remember what might seem hot to us is just getting warmed up for electronics. Hot water at about 130F can burn skin yet most

I ordered the wood turning tool rest kit from LMS (we'll avoid mentioning the nightmare getting it from UPS): http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1685&category= Granted,

Hi Ian, The motor runs fine, just a bit hot which appears "normal" for this motor. All the connections are fine. When I worked in a Standards Lab we would do these measures, but I'll leave that for a
