It won't fit over the cross slide, so...no, won't work. -- Jerry Durand, Durand Interstellar, Inc. www.interstellar.com tel: +1 4

I finally have a project where I'm hoping to use my mini-lathe, to make some of the parts at least. Question- and I hope nobody thinks this is a dumb one.. My lathe is a 7 x 12. Is it practical (or

It's my experience that used smaller machine tools often sell for a remarkably high percentage of their retail price. Especially if there is a little tooling thrown in to "sweeten" the deal. There

Well here are some determining factors that may help you decide what you want to pay for it. 1. What size MicroMark are you referring to? The new 7x16 or the older 7x14 with the built in digital speed

Be aware that the present MM lathe is a 7X16 that sells for $795.00. It has a 500 watt brushless motor and no gear shift, so is a bit quieter than most others. The usual accessories are included:

What is a fair price for a used micromark lathe? It looks almost unused. Are any of the US importers bringing in metric lathes?

In the thread gear train this is the bushing the pair of gears in the center of the 4 gear arrangement mount to and the shaft that bushing runs on. Paul M

Okay, we have two different suggestions here. In the first one, the insert is turned to fit the hole on the outside, tap drilled thru, & loctited in plate. In the second option, more secure , and more

Indeed there is, I'd forgotten. I used it to restore the threads on the cross feed screw on a lathe I was restoring. It works, but follow the directions carefully or it will "Loctite". We live &

There's a Loctite product that may help restore the original threads. I've had some success with it and some failures - you'll have to decide if it's worth the bother.

Nope. The plug is pre drilled with the tap drill, and locked in place. The tap is then run in from below, where the pre-existing threads are undamaged, and thus will segue into the insert with no

The solution you worked out for yourself is actually the same as I suggested for the Q&D method, and it should be satisfactory. Mert

Mert, I had a look at clearing the hole, adding an insert of sorts and re-tapping. I did not feel comfortable doing that as it might do more harm than good. My work around seems to be OK for now. Only

Dan, I use the M10 bolt and Allen key for the A2Z as I find it easier to use with my limited hand control. I also like the idea that there is one less lever on top of the machine when it is running.

First thing I did when I mounted my A2Z toolpost on mine was to make a longer stud so that I could use the stock adjuster nut/handle rather than the bolt. I guess I kind of foresaw your problem, the
