7x14 MiniLathe Evolutions

....(or "from a sow's ear comes a silk purse...")


Picture from the rear showing:



  • The taper attachment - the bronze block rides on the shaft and the slotted plate is attached to the crossslide. The screw feed on the crossslide is disengaged and as the carriage moves so does the crossslide according to the angle set.

  • The cam-lock tailstock mod that I did

  • The 3 T-slots at the rear of the new crosslide
