Bed Extension

[manopr350]

I am thinking in getting the Taig Micro Lathe. I would like to know where I can find and how I can add a bed extension so the end of a shaft can rest while working on tips.

By the time you add all the things you need and didn't even yet realize you need you will be way ahead to buy a repair lathe from Chris Hightower. You will spend as much and your setup will still be mickey mouse.

I tried to call and place an order with Chris today and didn't get a call back. They might be out of plant during the virus stuff...

Just for work on tips, you can have a little Chinese metal lathe and a radius turning tool for less money, the motor is included. You fit a nylon bushing at the spindle exit to support the shaft at the middle and no problem.

Monday's are the day I have the most calls I need to return. It is also the day my wife needs the most help getting the orders that came in over the weekend out. So pretty often I dont get everyone called back on Mondays.

I did get in touch with Chris yesterday and placed my order, I certainly understand about busy days!
I have a HF mini-lathe, their biggest version at the time (7x14 I think) and know I can use it for some things. I just didn't want to have to fabricate everything I'd like to have with it...
