How does the side mounted ball screw work? I'd be worried about the torque trying to turn the milling head. The design I like better places the screw on center line and almost touching the existing

Thought I was being clever this time and started turning a piece on a long hunk of 2" stock - so I'd have plenty of margin for error. See photo:

Disregard my comment, I was unaware that the 4700 has a spindle that moves up and down, unlike the other mini mills where the entire head moves up and down. Mike from mikesworkshop has the correct

Hi and thanks for response. Here is how the fine adjuster looks inside: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2tx6cgt0j8wm7s/adjuster.jpg?dl=0 My thoughts was to look the axel from underneath, it have most of

Hello Johannas, I'm not familiar with the 4700 mill, but from the photo of it on the LMS website, there is a column/gib locking lever on the left hand side of the column. Locking this down should lock

That's a great idea. You always have cool stuff for these Sieg things... your site should to be required reading for anyone with any of these mill/lathes...

WAM there is a recessed M8 socket screw bolt that locks quill in position on the other side of the headstock. I have added a lever to mine so I do not need to find the M8 allen key, see:

The GrizHFMinimill group has been dormant for some time. I think most posting has been done here. ---In 7x12minilathe@..., <mark.kimball2@...> wrote <SNIP> I would have just suggested you

Does it move when you have the Z axis lock lever on the left side of the column locked down?? Unless you are really using this in the "drill press" mode, that should be locked after the cutter depth

Johannes, The Z axis fine-adjustment mechanism is one of the more poorly-designed components of these machines. It is a sloppy worm drive that engages a sloppy castle nut system which drives a sloppy

I see you have the 4700 micro - a bit different than the mini that I posted a link to. Not sure how you'd fix the slop in that...

I bagged that whole rack-pinion thing for something a bit more robust: http://www.ajawamnet.com/ajawam3/swarf/mill_mods.html Actually my wife wanted it changed. She used it when we first got it, said

Thanks for posting, very interesting!! Youtube had problems loading your video. I'd like to see a photo of the sliding pot and a wiring diagram. It is really nice to increase the speed as you get a

These are abrasive blades. Abrasive work for the cut-off job because only a tiny part of the blade is in contact with the metal. Abrasives don't work as well for drilling holes in metal

Glad to know that my mini is not the only one that gets pretty loud. :)

I have one of these at home. I want to put it on my 14" Dewalt electric chop saw, if it works, it would be great. The electric is no where near as fast as the gas saw. I stopped using the dewalt much

Thanks I been looking for something like this my wife does not like the smell of burned carbon. One of these blades should do the trick. Thanks again.

We also have 14" diamond blades for rebar on the big gas powered cutoff saws, but again, the guys think they are masonry and not very goo for that. http://amzn.to/2gRJ6We http://amzn.to/2gRJ6We
