WM210V-G Mini Lathe operation manuals for Chinese lathes from various manufactures.

I have tons of files, sadly NONE of safe edges. I was thinking (or read here somewhere) that "Lathe files" always have one or 2 safe edges. I bought NOS Nicholson 14" LATHE file....got it today, no safe edges. What do I search for to get a 12-14" safe edge file? Bastard ideally, but I have some...

I'm collecting tooling for my Unimats i didn't see a flycutter made by Emco, so i decided to make one from the pile of scrap stainless i have accumulated. the tool was produced from a 1.5" diameter scrap 416 stainless steel meat saw shaft after turning the 1.5" diameter to 30mm, i drilled and...

Hi All, Pretty new to the forum. A bit of background on me - I've no background in engineering at all, but I do have a thousands of hours on YouTube watching the machining greats and a positive attitude :) All joking aside, I owned a Warco 250V lathe (I think an English badged version the same...

STL file format ready for slicing and 3D printing replacement plastic gibs made from drawings posted here in the downloads section by another. I used PETG although there are other materials such as nylon or ABS plastic that might work well/better. PETG is very solvent resistant and slides...

I just purchased this Dean Smith & Grace 4AV lathe. I don't know much about it buy I know these are supposed to be some of the best lathes made. This one has a 12" Chuck and around 24 inches between centers. It's got a 10HP motor that was originally 480V 3-phase, but the seller had the motor...

A neighbor has borrowed my beater riding mower, that we use for garden/utility abuse and seasonal purposes (leaf bagging, plowing our gravel driveway, etc). That neighbor has expressed interest in buying it to maintain some grass around the entertainment pavillion they hold some events at. I'm...

Hey all, I thought I'd share a possible solution to an issue I've had a few times when needing a little extra support while turning and/or threading on the lathe. I need to make a left hand threaded lead screw and the diameter will be too small and it will be too long to remain rigid while...

Hi all, I've been avoiding machining stainless steel after reading about how some grades are very difficult to work with and will work harden especially when using a (MicroMark 7X16) mini-lathe and (PM25) mill. But, I have a very simple project I need to be in stainless steel and thought this...

The lathe is a 1956 13x36 engine lathe. This has the single lever, 2 slots in the apron to select the feed mechanism The drive mechanism in the apron is loose. When I reach under there is significant play in the shuttle that connects to the power feed. If anyone has a similar lathe can they...

I recently cut an M5x0.5 thread in salvaged mystery steel (the counterweight shaft of a junky telescope mount) using a carbide insert on my mini lathe. I could tell from the ragged chips that it wasn't cutting right. It left burrs on the threads. The part ended up fitting okay, but I'd like to...

Like my title says, did Logan put shims under their headstocks? I took my lathe apart to rebuild it and noticed that there was a 0.005" shim under one corner of the headstock on the flat sides. I'm trying to figure out if someone who owned the machine before did this or if it was from factory.

Alright, I figured I'd get into some lathe work. . . So I went and bought an ENCO 110-1351 that had its own home made CNC on it. Was sold to me as working order. Figured great, I'll get to start playing around! NOPE. hahahaha. Which is all good. Massive learning curves are fun. So, machine...

It's been a while since I've posted anything. Frankly been to busy to, moved and been working hard to get everything built up and in it's place. Well, it's been a lot of work in a short timeframe. Poured the floor, got the walls insulated and drywalled, finally rolled everything in, in about a...

Oh boy did I screw myself this time... First of all, thank you guys for reading and please excuse my writing because English is my second language. So a while ago I bought this old used Spanish lathe for 500€, and I've been restoring it. It was in poor condition (and still is), but it's usable...
