Marty, For some reason when I look at your site, the pictures are blocking out the text. Bill

I tried that too, but Yahoo Search wasn't being very cooperative. I finally found it - there's no space between 7x10 and minilathe! Nice pics. Where'd you get the meter? How well does that aluminum

Hi Vince: I started with a 10" and as you see, building a 14" (15") but pretty much the same critter as you rightly suspect. If you take anything away from the set I built make it that it is flat and

G'day Vince. As I said in my last post I haven't found the need to do anything to my saddle keep plates yet, yet. The prevailing wisdom seems to be to ditch the setting grub screws and use shims.

Ian, I looked at your photo and that broken retainer sure resembles mine! I do have a mini-mill and I will look for some brass plate. I do not have any transfer punches but will consider. Question on

Marty, Way to go! My milling skills have a long way to go to duplicate. My lathe is actually a 7X10 but I jumped up to this group assuming the design is the same and I could thereby get more coverage

Marty, Thanks, I usually use eye ball numbers and yours are a very good start. Now to just get the time to grind a standard tool and one like yours... Jeff * REPLY SEPARATOR * Your

G'day Ed Read my lips<G>! Get yourself into "7x10 minilathe-photos" It is a relatively new group with the overflow of the 7x10 group. Note the title of the group is as I have shown it vis "7x10

Jeff thanks for the photo tip. I'll give it a try sometime. On center if I understand your question correctly. I sent Clint what I hope is a clearer picture a bit closer. Getting a snap of the front

G'day Vince. You appear to not be alone, though I haven't yet done it myself. See WWW.Mini-lathe.com/Mini_Lathe/modifications/modifications.htm. I would not advocate using any material harder than the

Vince: http://www.kahale-martinapmachine.net/ Bottom of second page should give you some idea. Your experience is exactly why I've done what I've done. Marty

Marty, Very interesting looking tool, thanks for the photos! Does the holder locate the top of the vee on centre or above. It reminded me of a shearing type tool, front straight across with rake, some

I tried to snug up my carriage on the gibs. It had too much slop and I tried to make the adjustments. I should have read the LMS manual first and followed their procedure but I didn't. I overtightend

G'day Ed et al. Look for photos in "7x10 minilathe-photos" group. John found them OK and hes an Ozzie. Being a DIYer from way back I baulked at having somebody else post my photos. No disrespect to

The photos look well to me, good job on them, they are now uploaded to Marty's Folder Clint Marty N wrote:

Marty I am now going in to upload the photos for you shorty, I will call your album Martys Folder Clint Marty N wrote:

Okay John: I sent a few snaps to Clint. This thing does not photograph well as it is too shiny. A bit of candle black helped some pictures and hurt others. Bottom and side views pretty good but the

Hi All, And then there was the case of the hobbyist/machinists/amateur telescope maker who mixed up the bottles of Molykote (it was an old bottle) with the bottle of very fine carborundum (an equally
