Is the tool properly shaped for brass? Brass needs 0 top rake; if there's any top rake the tool will try to pull into the work. Roy

LOVE MINE!!!.. I would check out fignoggle.com for a nice review of it.. and comparrison pics of it next to the 7x lathe.. while still being a 'bench top' machine.. its got some nice weight/beef

MessageI've found the 14" bed on the 7x12 long enuf, & even the 10" one on the 7x10 with the chuck off and using 3C collets is long enuf, too. I agree about the camlock TS clamps & made 'em for my 7x

The situation with the Micromark 7x16 is that because of its size, it is too heavy to be shipped in one carton fully assembled. This means that in order for UPS or like carriers to ship it, the

what bearings did you use ? thanks, george ________________________________ To: 7x12minilathe@... Sent: Tue, February 12, 2013 4:29:03 AM Subject: [7x12minilathe] Re: chatter ? Hi Bill, I

not mine. but maybe i'm just to picky. i don't like rough movements and rough finishes so after seeing one i'm slowly going through it making sure that everything moves smoothly. a little filing and

Bill; One of the things to check,is to make sure your tool bit is not extended towards the chuck,or out too far. The mini has as far as I am concerned,a bad design in the cross slide gibs. I noticed

Thanks for that great info Michael. I wasn't aware of all the differences. For me now, it looks like either the LMS 7x12 Deluxe, or the LMS 8.5x16 with 1000W BLDC, dual DROs and power cross feed. I've

All true, but I've bought 3 that worked with no problem out of the box from 3 different resellers, non of which claimed to "check out & adjust" before reselling, as MM does. Merely making an

OK, thank you! I agree that it looks very nice.

Hi Michael, Thank you for the heads up! I'm located in Montreal, Canada. I have already spoken with LMS about the shipping and brokerage charges. There's not really another option if I want the SC4

Any machine tool needs to be adjusted when installed. The MM might be closer to working out of the box but I would still expect something to get tweaked in shipping. The heavier the machine, the more

Hi Bill, I have read what others have said and most of it is good advice. I had the same problem with my MM 7x16. The best thing I have done is to spring for a new pair of tapered roller bearings for

Doesn't the MM catalog tell us that their lathes are carefully gone over and meticulously adjusted before they go out the door? Haven't read their catalog for a couple of years. Mert

Probably, Bill. The reason the Wright brothers could fly their first powered airplane was that, unlike all the other would-be inventors, they were both experienced pilots, with many hours in the air

I've been looking for a mini lathe for a while. I put a wanted add on a local online site. I had a guy say he has the lathe in the subject line. Said he bought it about 8 years ago and hasn't used it

Simon thanks. I've sent Sarah a private e mail. Good luck with your new venture. Take care John L Spain

Copper based alloys like brass and bronze require different tool bit geometry than tooling for other metals and plastics. In short, most materials - at least on these small lathes - will like some
