Marty, For some reason when I look at your site, the pictures are blocking out the text. Bill: I checked the site and it came up fine?!?!? I reloaded it anyway, try again. This has happened once

C\G'day Ed. The way cover works great with steel and aluminium. Brass, because there is no rake on the tool, goes everywhere, mosty into the tray. I don't know your QTH but I am in Oz. The meter

Hi, Some time back there was discussion of soluble oil and its availability in Oz. Must have been steam4ian asking. I just got back to looking and found some info at www.azom.com/details.asp?

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, 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

Thanks, Ian, but I'm still lost. I went to the 7x10 minilathe group and select Photos. There are 68 posts there, with the most recent being Nov 06. None of them belonging to you. What am I missing?

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
