Steel is more than twice as rigid as aluminium while CI is only about half again as rigid as AL. A relatively thick steel adaptor (say about as thick as the spindle flange might give you the best

I have never seen anything on this idea but would be very interested to find out what you learn. I am going to review the instructions on my bicycle speedometer to see what I can figure out on my own!

Robert, I just posted a new page "Getting Started with your Minilathe" which you may find helpful. Go to mini-lathe.com and click on "Getting Started" Frank Hoose http://www.mini-lathe.com ---

Hi Geoff, The mod to the compound rest is very helpful when you use a QCTP. Since I don't have a mill I took advantage of the offering from LMS:

The "standard" fix is to machine most of the "step" off the top of the compound & some off the bottom. JWE has posted details, IIRC, in the 7x10 files. Are you sure about the bearings? The HF I've got

Can you give us the play by play on this modification? I'd like to know how it turns out. Mike Wood Geoff Steckel wrote:

Could someone please mention the latest number of Model Engineering? I bought a subscription and it is to start with number 4196. Thanks!

First an observation which may be helpful. I haven't been doing machining very long and can't make many contributions, but would like to comment on my experiences with electrolytic rust removal. I

Just joined, again and reading through the posts. Saw this one. I think someone else mentioned it, but I reckon DeltaCAD is the best of the budget programs around. I use it instead of AutoCAD for

Getting around to getting the lathe soon, I hope. However, I would like to use collets for holding small diameter material. One solution is to use a milling collet but I would prefer a proper lathe

Bill, I would agree with your assessment of the tailstock, it is probably not parallel in either plane. I was irritated with the tailstock until I took a few hours to shim it between the two castings

Thanks for the advice. I have been doing some more research in finding what I want. I was wondering about the combo mill lathe machines. Are they adequate to work with or would it be better to buy a
