Hi all, I am Danny from Phoenix/AZ and have a metal turning problem :). Here is my lathe, not used a lot lately since I was very busy with work, planning to get back to it when is cooling off here. You will see my tool holder, I like it a lot, I can cut 0.0005" and repeat with no problem. After the saddle was replaced (bad original part) the cross slide is smooth and very precise. Ed has seen the pictures, cutting small parts and BB shafts is no problem. In the pics you will see the mods I have done, most recent one is adding threaded holes to the tail stock base to install wipers...tired of cleaning under it with each pass. Speaking of wipers, I need some help with making some sort of reinforcement plates to sandwich the rubber since is sticking out and not rigid. If interested, let me know and will post/sent more info and drawings of what is needed.
