Re-Pimping the 7x12 minlathe.

RotarySMP:
The fifth episode of this series is now up.


Mostly it covers making the #3 Morse test bar. Hope you enjoy it.

RotarySMP:
I was out on a business trip and missed a week, but here is the 6th episode. Scraping in the head casting to align it to the bed. Went better than I expected, with one hiccup.

RotarySMP:
Since the lathe bed was only as stiff as a wet noodle, I did a quick and dirty reinforcement.

Joules:
Interesting video Mark, do you plan to add a cover where the gap in the carriage exposes the ways.  I see a path way for fine swarf getting under the saddle, but don't know how much clearance you have with the modified nut.

Brass_Machine:
I'm late to the show... Now I have videos to binge watch!
