I figured it was a focus thing. In a lathe what mostly goes in the headstock is material not tools. A mill is the opposite. People have done both where it made sense to them or there wasn't a better

Thank you John from Spain. We armature that have never been in a professional workshop, and never been under supervision of a foreman, we need this type of advice. Even it sound obviously for you, it

Is that tailstock or spindle? All the 7x mini-lathes from China thst I've ?seen have an MT2 tailstock and MT3 spindle. About a dozen in total so not a comprehensive sample, but I do read a lot. Bill

Firstly I must concur with Richard to the fact that his comments are solely based on drilling operations and he is absolutely correct. In the past, I have used radial drilling machines with up to #6

Check for sure on both ends Stuart before you buy things..... the most common config (if the headstock has not been altered) is MT3 on the spindle and MT2 on the tailstock. MT3-MT2 adapters are around

I designed this for my X2 you will need to change for other machines. I thought I would need ball bearings between nut and top hat but not necessary. ATB Richard

To be precise, the mendocino motor exhibits something called pseudo levitation because it depends on mechanical contact to achieve positional stability. The levitation system is not axially stable on

Ok but my standard is MT3 as it suits lathe spindle and tail-stock, and mill. To each his own. ATB Richard

Please send me a copy. Your bearing thumping is compelling! Bill in Boulder CO USA

Richard, That is true. Tooling costs money. As the saying goes "you pays your money or takes your chances" Something like that! Have a nice day. Dick

Ok Atachments not allowed Sorry. Sent directly to requesting poster Richard

I do not disagree with most of what you have said, but if you own a lathe then you tend to need to double up on some tooling. Expensive for the Hobbyist. Richard

Attached is a sketch of a self release drawbar that I use on my X2 mill. The Top Hat item replaced the spindle lock nut. The Nut shown was loctited to the 3/8 UNC drawbar. I intended installing ball
