Is there a sequence?? Or, just an iterative, back and forth process? Don't know what happened to Photobucket.? Haven't used it for awhile.? Had to wade through way too many ads just to get my

You just need to dial it in so the turned section is centered & parallel to the lathe bed. Drilling from the TS will center itself; you might prefer to start the hole from the end without the center

Works silly well - better than I would have imagined. With the Arduino/Anaheim Automation stepper/driver combo I can step down less than a mil using microstepping - what the toggle switches set - see

same here. Time to move away from Photobucket. [7x12minilathe] <7x12minilathe@...> wrote:

When I try to view your photo on photobucket, it says "Please update your account to allow 3rd party hosting". It used to just keep popping up ads while I was viewing a photo. Michael - California,

Assuming the piece is centered and faced off square, can you part it off, turn it around in your 4 jaw and drill it from the other end?? Chances are the center drill is smaller than the finished hole

Photo bucket wants me to disable my ad-blocker before it will show your photo. Not going to do that. You need to use the DI in two places. 1. on the park very near the chuck and 2. on the part very

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
