Hello, I have a major interest in home shop machining, partly in support of automotive hobbies but also just for fabrication purposes (small equipment, tools, models, etc). For some weird reason I

It looks like the expanded threading capacity comes from going farther on the table of cuttable threads! If you look in the "files" section, you'll find tables showing that just about every integer

I presume the leadscrew pitch is the same, so if the HiTorque gear set is the standard one plus 21T and 32T, adding those to your standard set should give you the same choice of threads. > That's what

Chuck, my guess is that the LMS HiTorque will cut a bigger range of inch threads than the standard Sieg C3. The comparision chart quotes from 4 to 80 tpi as opposed to 12 to 52 tpi. As a general rule,

I built my two from scratch, one with an internal collet clutch, and the other with a jam clutch. Both work, but I do most of my threading on the 12x36 because it's easier to change thread pitch with

I was brousing information on threading capabilities on the 7x SIEG lathes. I was referred to the lathe comparison page on the LMS website at http://littlemachineshop.com/Info/minilathe_compare.php. I

As to knurling, the Sherline tool does seem an odd design, and the instructions look a bit complicated, but it's probably easier to use than it looks. I use a "scissor" or "straddle" tool similar to

Mert, Building a crank for a 7X lathe is quite simple, I’ve done 2 now, using 1/2” water pipe for the main “shaft” portion, a hunk of 1/4” X 1” flat stock for the crank, and an aluminum

Yeah, I have a wood lathe sitting here and no room for it due to things that don't belong in the shop but are (read: not mine!). Since the wood lathe showed up I'm getting pushier on getting this

The Sherline threading att. is well designed, comes with gears for a lot of thread pitches, and from my experience with the 7xs & the Unis, it's a better idea. The hand crank is an excellent way to

Hi folk, I have found the best / cheapest place to get the Workshop Practice Series to be www.bookdepository.co.uk they post free world wide and were WAY cheaper than any where I tried locally, i.e.

The advice received here has been very helpful, and brought up a lot more questions. One of those of interest was on thread cutting, it looks like it may be a problem with the Taig lathe, while on the

Most stock Taigs only have a rack/pinion ... Some now come from the factory with a LS too.... http://www.taigtools.com/Images/lathe4.JPG Added a LS to mine:

In reply to the question about the Sherlines. They suffer from the same reversible leadscrew and the necessity to crank the carriage back & forth with the LS. I assume this is true of the Taigs, but

Hi Ron, Both the Craftex and Homier lathes are re-branded Siegs from China. The Sieg 7x lathes constitute the majority of the mini-lathes in the US and Canada, I think. There are a few from the Real

Further, you'll find the Taig is both more and less versatile, and a LOT smaller, even though its motor is a LOT more powerful. Mert

FWIW, I paid $300 US + shipping for my Homier 7x12, but it was a long time ago when the dollar hadn't shrunk nearly as much as it has now. Mert

If you buy it now and stash it away, you'll make room for it a lot sooner than first making room and then buying it. Vince. -- Michigan VHF Corp. http://www.nobucks.net/ http://www.CDupe.com/

Thanks for those titles too Andy. Last night I put an order in to Lindsay Books. Arceurotrade is next on the things to do list. I visited the Busybeetools website and was looking over their Craftex
