I need to cut a 0.190" wide slot, 0.300" deep in a ~1.75" wide chunk of steel, and it's a part for my milling machine, so I can't do it on the mill. I don't think the tolerances are particularly tight

Hey Guys, Just transitioning to my new-to-me Phase 2 tool post on my SB9c. No way the t-nut that came with it will fit. I see three options: 1. Re-mill the t-nut that came with the post. My least pref

Hi There, For the last two weeks, I have been sending emails to Metal Lathe Accessories but I haven't receive any response. Are they no longer in business? Good Luck! -Blue Chips- Webb

I purchased on ebay a 3D printed compound gear that is supposed to enable metric threading on my Heavy 10. The gear appears to be printed well, and is equipped with a bronze bushing center for reduced

So , I've been thinking of making a ER40 collet chuck as you folks know form the tread I started last week . I keep thinking the only part that I'm not 100 % sure I can pull off is the metric threads

A bud gave me a set of the metric threading gears for my lathe . I keep thinking I have seen on some lathes you need a different banjo to use these gears . DO you use the stock banjo on the 9A ? thank

Greetings. I'm a new member here trying to get some more information about my first lathe, a SB 9 Model A. I want to buy an information card from the SB site, but not sure what how I should be enterin

Hi, WRT collet chucks for the lathe. I've been planning to make the attached adapter for a while to suit my single tumbler heavy 10. What is stopping me is my inability to cut metric threads so I can
