No twist in my bed but the headstock was off by 0.015 in 8" when I got it. After aligning using "Rollie's Dad's Method", my DTI (0.0005) doesn't twitch over the same distance. I can turn a 3" length

If it's all you have on hand, it's better than nothing. I have used it in all my pneumatic tools for thirty five years. Personally, I use a syn 30wt on the lathe and mill cause it's what I have

Mine uses 5/16 according to the owners manual. I have a QCTP so I have 5/16 and 3/8. I would think use the biggest you can.

Hi Mark, Check Frank Ford's site for how he adapted a similar large toolholder to fit his QCTP: http://www.frets.com/FRETSPages/Machining/Tooling/GiantToolHolder/giantholder.html Frank has lots of

G'day Vikki Your site shows you have a dial indicator. Mount it on the cross slide and extend the tail stock quill out to the limit of its travel and clamp it. Run the dial indicator along the side

Yeah, that 90 degree turn is a bit of a mystery alright. It may not be out of the hands of the home shop machinist to build his/her own tool holders. A short while back there was a discussion about

Thanks to all that responded to this query. OK, I am *totally* intimidated after going through some of the websites suggested :-(. It is going to take a LOT more experience and especially more

Did some minor searching and ETCO is Engineering Tooling Corp., "Quality Tools and Inserts for Swiss Style CNC Screw Machines" http://www.etcotooling.com/ A couple of the tool holders shown on their

This is a tool holder and not a tool post. It would mount in a tool post. It looks to me like it simply holds very small HSS tool bits, but in a way that gives them lots of support and contact. This

Nope, but I don't believe I'd buy from this ebayer. Must have had a nervous breakdown in Feb of this year. History can be seen at tinyurl.com/3884pk . You can use toolhaus.org to check neutral/neg. fb

Howdy gang: I've come across an interesting looking, alternative tool post on ebay, of the likes I've never seen before. The seller does not mentio what advantage it has over thet nomral type tool

I just got my cumming 7x12 mini lathe, it came with 5 crappy 5/16" bits. They seemed to contact the work are a bit low, and needed to be shimmed UP. I like the idea of being able to use the indexable

I really don't wish to start ANOTHER oil thread. I followed some of the recent ones (which were good) and gleened some good information from them. Just one simple question. Does M.M.O. have any place

And that fractured English is a word for word copy of the Weiss website which Robin found. Weiss, Warco and Chester look identical in their respective photos. The only difference seems to be in the

hi Richard, For that sort of money, you can buy this: http://tinyurl.com/2uyhwz mind you, it'd take up quite a bit more space than a micro- or even a mini-mill. You should be able to get a milling

Hi, I too have a Seig 7x12 and have been wondering about milling too, The smaller lathe has a milling attachment one can buy - but it won't fit the 7x12 (I believe). Does anyone know of one that will

Leveling is the normal way (pun) that larger lathes are set up but the minilathe is relatively stiffer due to its small size. Although the castings aren't "aged", they are generally ground accurately

Some more ideas on grinding bits here: http://www.sherline.com/grinding.htm Rather than adjusting the angle of the grinder guide I used little wooden wedges marked with the angle and left the grinder

I have read that some folks have had a twist problem. Both my 10 and 14 in beds checked out good. I also use a piece of 24X6X3/8 steel plate to mount the bed to, with the wide feet under that. Help
