Re: Chip Guards
I did think of the rubber strip from the mini-mill a year or so and gave up on trying to to get hold of one as a spare. I have a laminator and your suggestion looks well worth a try. thanks Gerry

Re: Harbor freight 8x12 lathe (cheap digital calipers)
Hi Druid, I guess that means you have the same calipers as I got. Have you used them with the LMS cable? Vikki pointed out that cable to me but I wasn't really sure about it from the LMS pic so I was

Re: Harbor freight 8x12 lathe (cheap digital calipers)
Crikey Miss Vikki, That just might be it. Can't quite tell from the pic but LMS are pretty helpful so I'll ask them. Thanks a heap, John the nice. ProductID=1990&category= it is :-).

Re: Taper - I think I have a problem?!
G'day John, Vikki. I think I may have raised the issue of the coarseness of the LMS mod.. If you do the mod using a 6mm screw then the thread pitch is 1.0mm. One turn of the nut/screw moves the TS 1mm

Hi John, Just out of curiosity, how would you use tape in this application? Is it just to put over the steady rest fingers to prevent marking, or am I missing something? An d where can you find it? I

Re: Harbor freight 8x12 lathe (cheap digital calipers)
Hi John, I also bought the calipers from 8oowatt but the cheapskate didn't give me all the extra batteries <smile>. In truth, I haven't had a problem with 800watt. The installed batteries routinely

The adjuster could be modified to use a differential screw adjustment External thread the adjuster nut to a 24 pitch and get an ~96 pitch movement (or 40 pitch for a 160 pitch movement) Aaron

Hi Rance, Just an FYI..in case you didn't pick up on it earlier... The manual is not 100% accurate <smile>. The drawings and sizes of the gear hardware, (axels, clip rings, etc...) might not match.

Re: Threading and using the Dial
Hi Roy, I was wondering about utilising the locknut on the end of the spindle. This would have the advantage of keeping the spindle free for long jobs. Anyone else looked at this? John
