sorry friends, I was talking about this part http://www.littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1386&category=5

CRS is just low carbon steel. Drill rod is a hi carbon hardenable alloy some intended to quench in water, some in oil, and some just in air. Read the printing on the label to find out which. Or, when

Boring out doesn't work on all of the 3" chucks it can destroy the drive pinions on some Gerry W Leeds UK ________________________________

I bored out my 3 inch chuck to a tad over 0.750 so I could pass that size stock through. Not hard to do, but you must disassemble the chuck to clean out the chips. John

Hi Bob the spindle pass through on the 7x lathes is actually quite generous, many similar size lathes have less or none. It is comparable to that on the larger 9x18 or 2o" bed hobby lathes considered

I did wonder what Stefan meant by this, many folk refer to them as knucklebusters for obvious reasons. A button head screw is a good replacement but I just changed them for relatively easily

Hi Stefan, This is the original part: < http://littlemachineshop.com/products/product_view.php?ProductID=1543&category= >. As you can see, it is a standard M5 socket capscrew, with a threaded section

Mike, Drill is not the same as cold rolled steel. Drill rod is a high carbon steel capable of being hardened by heat treating. It usually is available in three foot lengths and is designated as O-1

Drill rod can be hardened, you buy it in various grades such as O-1 (oil hardening) or W-1 (water hardening). It's decent but not super precision tolerance. Good deal for the low cost. Note, you don't

Is drill rod just basically cold rolled steel that's made to better tolerances? Is it easy to drill and tap like cold rolled steel is? It's not drill bit blanks to make drill bits from right? Thanks!

I have a RB also and agree with Mert I also think that they are a little better built and they have oil ports on the LS tailstock and saddle and the motor is more powerful than the most basic Sieg The

I have seen a couple of articles on a taper turning attachment for a mini lathe. It appears the makers are using it primarily to make Morse taper shanks. Is this the only acceptable way to cut tapered

Hi Wilfred, I agree with much of what you say but all of the 7x minis are pretty capable and portable but unless someone is extremely tight for space, short of cash or certain of their requirements

One thing no one has mentioned is that you can easily put a 1"piece in the jaws, you cannot slide a 1" piece through the spindle. Bob

The Real Bull 7x has a few more features than the SIEG ones. I have one and find the performance is about the same, but the SIEG lacks the way wipers and the more convenient (for modification) RH end

Hi John: I expect you know more about this stuff than I do.... I think you are well-describing a small, independent PV power system. I know some of the inverters have the features you are describing

Tom, The 7 x 10" is a very nice and capable lathe. This size is ideal for users with limited work space or who need to put the lathe away for storage after each use and set it back up next time for

Thanks for all the help. I didn't expect to see answers so quickly. You've convinced me to buy the longer model lathe. I think the shorter one will work fine for me now but in the future I'll want

Hello, do any of you have drawing of this part, with metric dimensions of it? If you can please send it to me via email. ATB

Some do. They have a wall of little drawers full of expensive little screws of all sorts. So does Ace Hardware, Tru-value, etc. You can buy a box of 100 for what you'll pay at Lowes from any
