Re: mini laths
I think you could use the existing guard if you were to build a riser block to raise it by about 3/4". Shouldn't be to terribly difficult to fix, but it really should have been done by SIEG, not by

Vikki, that slitting saw arbor's 1/2" shank might be a problem ;-(. I don't have a taig lathe but that thing sure would be a problem with my mill which I believe uses the same spindle. A blank taig

Re: HF 8x12 - Tool Bit Size
If you intend to use the OEM 4-way toolpost, it needs 1/2" bits. All it takes then is .022 shim to bring the cutting edge to the center. The smaller bits would need quite a bit more shimming. If you

HF 8x12 - Tool Bit Size
In getting my tool order together I can't seem to find out what size tool bits my 8x12-to-be takes. 3/8 or 5/16? Even if it will hold a 3/8 should I just use 5/16 for some reason? Thanks.
