Essential Mini Lathe Tools And Accessories

preview_player
Показать описание
Mini lathes are one of the most versatile machines that one can have access to in a workshop. They can turn parts, cut threads, bore and drill holes and can be set up to do basic milling operations. However it must be said that the range of tooling and accessories can be overwhelming at first, and can become a big expense very quickly.

Thankfully to do basic lathe work, you only need to purchase a small amount of tooling and the rest can be acquired later down the road when they are needed, or when the tooling budget allows for it.

This is a list of some of the useful tooling I have acquired for my Sieg C3 7x14 mini lathe. Cheers.

I have a strong magnet on the side of the head stock of my pillar drill and I haven't lost a chuck key for years 😉 . A very useful and informative video, thank you.

Great tips and well explained. I am returning to hobby machining now that I am retired. Great videos, thanks. I have my first Chinese mini lathe and now on a learning curve.

I just got an old mini lathe up and running and I'm looking to get it to a state that I can do some simple turning. At the moment I don't have much as far as tooling and It would take some pretty serious modifications to put a quick change tool post, but that would be amazing. Thank you for the video and keep up the great work.

Very good advice.
If you always misplace your jacobs chuck key stick a magnet somewhere on top of the lathe and just always stick the key to it.

you opened up the video talking about how versatile this tool is. I make jewelry out of exotic wood and pine cones with a 7x12 palmgren mini medal lathe 😁

Excellent tips and tools. I've used my mini lathe a few times for a couple of metal pens but haven't used it in over a year...I do need to get a few other tools and accessories for sure...I've yet to put the quick change tool post holder onto my lathe, however I know that's part of the issue I'm having is the tool post holder that comes with the lathe is very limiting and time consuming to adjust.

Hi Mate, to always keep track of your Jacobs chuck key fix a magnet to the side of your machine head and ALWAYS put your chuck back on the magnet when finished!

Hello I got me a db200. Because my shop is only 10 wide x 16 with 6’ garage style door. Not a lot of room. Have mig welder, drill press, band saw, 2’x3’ steel fab table with 2” holes. Made by Klutch. Good table for money. Nice tool chest. And no room left. Lol. But that’s one reason got Unimat.it was old but brand new. A dr bought it in the early 60s and never used it. Got it from his estate sale. Had some good extra goodies. And the original wood box. Wasn’t rusty or scratched up. Wow. Got it for 500$ us. Has milling attachments. So I’m working with it I’ve bought some upgrades for it dail holder when in mill set up. Makes a dro. Quick turn screws to slide tail stock and head stock. Extra mx70 cross slide table from proxxon. Little but nice. Little carbide cut set. Harbor freight. Now get quick tool holder and go to town. Thinking of building a big garage for ole lady’s car and other stuff so my little building would just be little shop. Free up lot room. Air compressor stuff be in big garage just pipe into little shop. Just thinking u know how that goes. Anyway love the channel. Stay safe from ur ole WV hillbilly buddy.
