What do you do with the taig based lathes.
Lathe wanted
- Thread starter Soulcoma
- Start date
I think if you go metric at 2.5 mm thats pretty close to 10 tpi
Congratulations, hope you can give a report on it when you get it? I thought about ordering one but all gone now.Numobams has some in stock now in US. Just ordered this one, dual chuck 4 jaw, w dro. I have a deluxe now and wanted to try one of these.

I built a threading jig for mine but haven't used it since I got my metal lathe.

I'm having a hard time envisioning how you are spinning the wood with the thread pitch there.
This is what I did.

The two steel prices have a 5/16 x 18 rod in between. The shaft attaches with a maint pin. When you unscrew the two pieces the tenon moves down to the dremel and follows the threadsI'm having a hard time envisioning how you are spinning the wood with the thread pitch there.

That lathe shows a threading option for 18 tpi but still not 10 tpi. After doing some search on the forums you can easily get 10 tpi by setting it on the metric, I think, and using the custom option and dialing it in. One poster gave the setting for it. After xianmacs posted he ordered one, he also posted on another forum I think and they sold out quickly, ha ha.
I'll be calling you tomorrow about the basic set up. I live in Lafayette and would like to come and pick one up if in stock.
Sure thing - Thank you
I drove out to Chris' shop and picked up the basic cue repair lathe with the upgrade package and some extras. Meeting Chris was a pleasant experience and his shop set up is packed with supplies. I don't need to go into the design and quality of Chris' products and, after setting up my lathe, was not disappointed. Chris is extremely knowledgeable about cue making products and is the "go to" guy for any of your problems.
Thanks Rick !
Numobams lathe finally showed up this morning for me. It's been a real trying experience dealing direct with China but it all worked out in the end. Fit through my double shop doors with an inch and a half to spare. that was a little nerve racking as my tractor was bouncing left and right that much and if I caught a door it would have just ripped off, not much stops the tractor. Anyway it's in, heavier than I thought and now I'm trying to figure out how to get it up on the counter where its going. Was just going to ask a farmer friend down the rd, but my wife just said he's having back issues. I've hears some use a portable engine hoist. I may call another farmer that I know and see if a few strong hands can help.
So far how do you like it
I have no idea, still waiting for help to lift it up, it's heavy. It's a lot of lathe for $1900 shipped. Got it with the DRO.
Took a little longer than expected but not bad all considering, about 2 1/2 months I think.
That was ok as I have been fishing all summer till mid October anyway and had some shop redo to do.
I have a couple farmer friends coming over to help but there are busy till evening and we're supposed to come Tuesday but a big buck has been showing up on their land and wanted to bow hunt that. So I told them Saturday during the day would be fine as I didn't want to interfere with their bow hunting.
It's OK though as I just changed my mind where it's going, was going to be under overhead cabinets by wall but the dro just barely clears so yesterday I redid my center island to hold it. There is somethings I see that need some work like rough edges in bed, and play in one of the wheels but you have to expect these minor things. Hopefully all works.
It was about $80 cheaper direct from China vsvthe LA distributor, but if instock in LA, I would order from there for less aggravation.

Nice shop! I’d love to have 1/2 of that space!! Looking forward to your review!!!
That's just a small piece of it. The shop is 26'x40' with infloor heat. I may be putting in one of those DIY air conditioner units. I think I've changed my mind again as to where this lathe sits. We were at Home Depot today looking for a latch for our patio door and on the way out we looked at this big rolling tool chest with a wood top, I really liked it and if I took the wheels off and dropped it down a bit it would match right up to that center bench in length, 62" and height and give me tons of storage right under the lathe. So I looked on line when we got home to see if there were any deals coming and they have a hundred bucks off if you get gray instead of black by ordering online but you have to wait one to two weeks. I'll wait to save a hundred bucks. So instead of waiting, I'm going to still have my friends come over Saturday to help get the lathe up on the center bench and when I get the new tool chest set up, I can slide it over.
When I get it all done and set up, I'll take a video of the shop and maybe someone can post it as I can post pictures but know nothing about videos.
I really am fortunate to have such a nice shop.
The crate was 281 lb and what you see left on the floor is about 250.
