Just got done making this.

just more convient. More like a conventional lathe? I have this coming. Going to use it for the 1/4" chuck. The 3/8" drive one will be a 2nd. key for my 4 jaw chuck on the Logan...

Then I'm gonna get something like this for the chuck key!

Note the busted out "Cap loc" Key! That's the FIRST!! thing I do when I get a new windows keyboard, is bust out the "cap loc" I'm was sick AND TIRED TOO! of hitting the Cap Loc by mistake!

Forgot the pictures

It was a different brand lathe. It's just a little aluminum bracket, It bolts down to the bed, and then it has a whole line board in it and pinch together with the set screw as shown. There's two little bearings in there and it acts as a little live center. Yeah they had an acme thread and nut...

I have ACME thread and a brass nut coming from eBay, even as I type!!

Used a good Gearwrench socket too! Dumb A! Why not just use a Snap On!

Also, I did sacrifice a 7mm gearwrench socket to make up a chuck key for the little lathe. It's ''driven" from a 1/4" drive ratchet! It Turned out a very "clean" job!

Also, these little things DO have variable speed! I was going to add it myself, now I don't hafe t'a! It's "hidden" over on the power supply. "Hey, where do you hide the variable speed on this thing"? I "Hide It" on the power supply!

Fit and finish on that little lathe is excellent too! No burrs either!

Me Too! I bet you do nice work too though! I'd like to find a little bench top mill, or a small vertical Bridgeport or Bridgeport clone.

Was wondering if you are a home shop machinist!

Next thing is to make an acme thread tail-stock advance for it. You can buy it with it already on there, but it was a good $30.00 more for that one! Heck, I'll make one for about $7.00!

I'll tell you, for $36.00 this this thing is cool!! Pablo, I have to dig up an indicator and mighty mag, I recently got all my tools here! But it's a bit of a CF down there right now! Just using it though, it seems to run very true. I will get you a reading W/I a few days!

That's ALL you need!!

ls this cap a good ldea to put on any car that it's a good number for?

Is it high torque? Does it seem to kick Butt? What is the rated torque?

OK, I'll put an indicator on it.

Have this coming from Amazon for light duty horsing around with upstairs. Was only $36.00! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HKZPDDD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
