    Our Pro series lathe can do everything except taper a shaft currently. We are very close to releasing a taper bar setup they will allow you to do shaft tapering, but with holiday season in full swing right now we are struggling just to keep orders shipping on time. When it is available it will...

    Reviewing tip repair lathes

    LOL - I fixed it. I am not sure how I plan to offer these just yet. I am trying to come up with a solution to just sell the whole dial with new handle installed and will probably make it a standard feature on all of our pro series lathes

    Reviewing tip repair lathes

    The included inserts on our DNA are 3d printed and intended to be starting point. They should hold up pretty well, but we do recommend that you make your own collet inserts from delrin to match the tapers of the parts that you intend to use it on. There are so many variances that if would be...

    The screws that disappear

    The easier way to tell is measure the diameter of your pinion gear with calipers - It will be either .220 or .250. Also usually if you have a 10" long gear rack you should have the .220 and if you have the 42" long gear rack it should be the .250. They me be some older exceptions to the rack...

    The screws that disappear

    That will be That will be the ones if it is an older version. Not really sure how to tell the cutoff date. You could probably measure the id of the hole and looks at a screw size chart to tell

    The screws that disappear

    The older versions had a 2-56 x 1/4″ Button Head Screw . It appears they have been switched to a 4-40 x 1/4" socket head cap screw. I and not 100% on it purpose since there is a set screw from the side, probably just to ensure that the dial is used all of the way back but I would replace it and...

    I want to buy a set of these Dial indicator holders.

    Yes those are mine and are 3d printed. I still sell the dovetail version but have not made any of the cross slide versions lately. I want to do a redesign of it but have not had the time. They are both original drawings and not online although there may be something similar out there . You can...

    Todd Shultz

    I had dealt with Todd many times over the years and he was always top notch. I purchased the business from him last October after he had been sent home and placed on hospice. This was the only time I ever met him in person but I will say that both Todd and his wife were everything that I...

    Atlas metal lathe woes

    I am not sure that it would have low enough runout using a Dremel for live threading. This is not something that I have tried it so I am just guessing. In the past, I have used one with a miniature saw blade for slicing rings from a billet and I suppose you could do the same with a tiny end mill...

    Mid America vs Cuesmith lathe

    They are both great products but I am partial to the Mid-America of course. A Taper bar system is coming soon and will be able to be retrofitted to existing lathes. We have a lot of upgrades and new products in the works but there never seems to be enough time in the day.
