A while back. I did the same thing on a 8x12(14) lathe they sell.. It as 'on sale'. I walked in with a 20% coupon and ordered my new lathe for like $379 out the door@! That lathe now goes for $999.99

That's an even better deal. They had a floor model here too but it was in really bad shape and I don't think I would want it for half price. The various controls (motion control knobs) had at least

The Craftex looks like a Seig. Essentially the same machine as a Harbor Freight, Mico Mark, Grizzly, and Little Machine Shop (which has a much more powerful motor than the others.) Yes, it will run at

Hey guys, I'm about to purchase my first lathe, a mini-lathe, and hoping for a little guidance. I will be using the lathe for some learning and R&D in my home shop. I was initially seeking a 7x12

That is unfortunate. I use the 20% off coupons all the time, on sale items. The only restriction there should be is that you cannot combine coupons. Sent: Monday, February 11, 2013 6:50 AM To:

Hi John, This is our website and as you said there are some other products waiting to go on to it, but they are still in the developmental stage. Also the site has been set up as uk only at the moment

Yes, I have a little oil in it, enough to keep the gears wet. I did not put a shaft seal on, I just sealed the lid to the apron with Permatex. Since I often tilt the lathe to clean it, any excess oil

I bought my mini lathe as a display model for 20% off PLUS 20% off with the coupon! PLUS it was on sale ( a few years ago ) for $399. I walked out with a new lathe for $255.36 plus tax. From:

Same deal for me in Cleveland. Seemed to good to be true, so I called their 800 number and they confirmed it could be used. At the checkout, the coupon scanned just fine. I was ready to argue if

Interesting idea, John. I haven't followed your link, but suspect it's one I've seen before, heating the screw while compressing the acetal on to it in a vice (or vise). Should work even better with

Interesting site. Not yet finished. www.icemaidenkits.com.? John L Spain

I haven't looked at that nut in a long time (since I drilled the recess into it so it seats better) but is there r

If you didn't need a coupon to get the sale price and there wasn't a parking lot sale going on, that lady was full of an odorous brown substance. Sale items DO qualify for a 20% discount. If this was

An interesting experiment would be an acetal nut. Possibly someone could try it and let the group know how it worked out... Perhaps make a round acetal nut as described in the link below, plus a steel

Hi John, Andy I agreee with Andy the bronze would be the best material by some margin with brass a little better than cast iron but as with much selection in low cost equipment material cost is often

The primary adjustment is to set the centre adjuster up, with the nut close up to the handle. Feel for the middle of the range of adjustment at that point, then work on balancing the two outer

I wish you were right!? I bought my Harbor Freight 7x10 from the store on Route 1 in Peabody MA while the sale was on, and showed the checkout lady my 20% off coupon, but she said it didn't apply

I don't know, John. I can produce no authority for this, but I imagine that bronze might be the best material for feedscrew nuts. Mine was originally cast iron, but as a result of certain "unintended

Andy Franks in reply to this recent post. Do different mini lathe (Chinese manufacturers)?opt for brass and or cast iron cross feed nuts.? Does cast iron have physical self lubricating properties

I mounted my non tilting version on a flat base that is wider than the vise. This allows the use of standard T-slot clamps to secure it anywhere needed. Often the clamps will be where you need to
