Title: Mini Lathe Hand Wheel Mod
Post by: Joules on May 10, 2013, 03:22:56 PM

Having finally got fed up of the clashing handles I decided to mod my mini lathe.  I mostly use this lathe for metric thread cutting, my main lathe is imperial.  The brass wheels can easily be swopped back to the original parts if required.

It filled a rainy afternoon making these.

Hi Joules,

                       The handles look fine, being brass they contrast well with the rest of the lathe.
