John, I have not heard of this problem before, but I am new to the hobby, and if any lathes had this problem I would have expected it on mine ( 8^) or 8^( - don't know which). I would want this to be

The raised land on my spindle plate measures 2.154 rather than 2.165 as given on the mini-lathe site. Sure enough, the recess in the chuck measures 2.165. In order to mount my 3 jaw chuck I first snug

Just wondering why nobody ever posts any messages in this group. Ryan The Sign Guy

Mike, Thanks for this information. I called Homier about this drilmill and Shirley, who is alway extremely helpful but relatively unknowledgeable, could not find anyone at the time who was familiar

Some of this message may be off topic since it concerns the new Homier 12 Speed Drill Mill. If so, I'm sorry and I won't do it again. The mini lathe availablity is in the following paragraph. For any

Most likely, the work is springing away from the tool at the center point where there is the greatest amount of flex. This will happen if the work is relatively long (thus limber) compared to the

Try making a couple of passes without advancing the tool. It sounds like the work is deflecting, which a follower rest will take care of. Repeating a finish cut without changing the tool setting will

Good Morning, Roy: I got around to shimming the headstock this weekend past. Took several tries but the head and tail stock are now in perfect alignment. Once this was completed, I centered a length

Good Morning, Frank: I managed to get the headstock shimmed dead center with the tail stock height. I placed a length of 12L14 between centers and indicated along the top and rear of the stock. The

Well, I guess if you had both models sitting side by side you could say that the older model is dark blue and the new model is light blue. But without the other one to compare to, you could say the

Charlie and Frank, When speaking to Homier customer service the question always asked is "dark blue or light blue". Having never seen both colors it is difficult to answer. If they are trying to

Hi Frank, is the dark blue one the new version? Charlie

Well, you needed an excuse to buy a mill anyway. You won't regret having one. Frank Hoose http://www.mini-lathe.com --- Nick DeFeo <ntdefeo@...> wrote:

The quality varies from machine to machine, but from what I have seen and heard, has steadily gotten better over the last few years. The new ones are usually very good right out of the box, although

Shimming is valid; I suspect they'd replace your lathe with current production, not an exact duplicate of original. Shimming is also much easier to undo than cutting ;-) Roy times, and wonder if I do

Point well taken Roy, although I have contacted Homier several times, and wonder if I do exercise the option to return the lathe, if they will give me the "newer" style 7 X 12, or another of the older

My thinking on a flycutter was primarily for surface finish. With either an endmill or a flycutter it's going to require multiple passes of light cuts. With no rational reason, I prefer the appearance

I can appreciate your concerns completely and had for some months prior to purchasing a Homier 7X12 been paralyzed due to same. Any of the 7X1x lathes will be somewhat deficient if real precision is

I guess it all comes down to this: If money and space were no object, then a brand new South Bend 10" or one of the other lathes out there would fill the bill. On the other hand, for hobby/limited
