Hi Bob, Thanks for the info on your mod as well as the link to the cross slide mod pictures. I particularly like the way you clamped the inner race; if my wild scheme doesn't work out I'll copy yours.

I made a new spacer block, a block to hold two bearings, with a washer between the bearing and the spacer block. This allowed the bearing outer race to be pinched between the spacer block and the

Hello everyone, I'm a new member to the group. I would like to buy a mini metal lathe, can anyone give me websites where i can find them. Any sugestions on what kind and size to buy (I am an handy cap

I am a novice and just purchased a 7 X 12 Speedway mini lathe from Homnier. Will attachemts from Harbour Freight tools such as the drill chuck work in this lathe? I will also want to do some threading

Realistically, the bearings should last close to forever; any method of making them easy to remove would be hard to retrofit into the existing envelope. Ejector holes don't need to be threaded;

I'm quite sure that I already posted this several hours ago, but here it goes again: Ty added ball bearings to his xslide in conjunction with a new 20 tpi lead screw. You can find the drawings at:

Hi Roy, Thanks for the reference. I also intend to put a BB in the compound since the bearings are so cheap ($0.72 for a 6001-2RS) but, as a newbie, am not sure about that design -- it looks like the

Has anyone ever given thought to designing a small taper turning attachment for one of the small 7 x 12 mini-lathes? I realize you'd need to disconnect the cross slide screw but it just don't seem

Here's a compound ball bearing mod: <http://aardvark.co.nz/pjet/lathefix.htm> Somewhere, I thought I'd seen a cross-slide ball bearing mod; of course, I can't find it now! (Maybe somewhere in the 7x10

I have read on a few sites that say that the design of the 9x20 style lathes have an inherant set back.... Being that you can't run them for extended periods of time without the spindle bearings over

I'm getting ready to mod my cross slide along the lines shown here: http://warhammer.mcc.virginia.edu/ty/7x10/xslidemod.html At the same time I'd like to add a ball bearing to the cross slide shaft.

Does anyone have any experience as to how a homier compares to an old Atlas made Craftsman 109.xxxxx lathe?? I see a lot fo them go through ebay with some decent tooling in many case, and for a price

Good morning, Whether or not you'll be happy with the Homier depends greatly on what you expect from it. All of the "Sieg" made machines, which include Harbor Freight, Enco, Northern, Grizzly, etc,

Hi Des: Little Machine Shop has a lot of neat things for the mini-lathe. I also found their projects page that has a great diagram for making a scissors type knurling tool. So, you should be able to
