Hi All: On my HF minimill (changed to true inch lead screws) I notice the speed change lever does not go all the way from vertical to horizontal. I am ...
John, Mine doesn't either but as long as the gears engage positively then there isn't a problem/ Sometime you may have to rotate the spindle a few degrees to...
OK- so now I have a 4" HF rotary table. Reasonable quality. On the flat base it will mount to the Homier-etc Mini Mill using t-slots. But on the flat EDGE...
I did something like that with my 4" Sherline. I mounted it toward the end of a 3/16"x3"x6" plate. On the other end of the plate I mount (when needed) a...

I echo those sentiments. I want to do the same for my Sherline 4" (not bragging - HF and LMS didn't offer theirs when I got the Sherline. Woulda gotten the...
****Photo's posted in Rotary Table folder*** I came up with an adaptor plate to mount my HF47052 Rotary Table to the MiniMill table. Just a 3 X 6 1/4" plate...
Well I finaly got mine Saturday. I didn't like the feel of things so like with all toys I had to tear it down. The housing was relatively clean but the ball...

Yes. For me anyway. I can only tram mine to within 1.5 thou after having a machine shop square everything up. I think the error is now caused by the forward ...
Set up a dial indicator and measure the column flex. I set the indicator stand on the table itself, indicator point 12 inches from the table top. Slight...
If you are looking for a fix for the vertical column flex, try taking a look at what I did to my HF mini-mill. http://www.woodisourart.com/Minimill.htm I...
Yes, there will be flex. Not as much when you are milling as when you try to cause it by resorting to force. That is why I don't really worry too much about...
... you ... Do you really think that when you or I push on the head of the mill we are exerting as much force as when the mill is operating? I'd bet not. The...

Bought a brand new Homier mini mill then converted it to SAE dials with Micro Mark's acme screws/dials kit. Also swapped out the the cheap chinese thrust ball...
Hi, I just got a Homier minimill this past Sunday. After cleaning everything as best I could I tried moving everything to clean more. When trying to move the...
If it's binding when the table is moved far to the left try this. Loosen the two setscrews that hold the nut. Don't loosen them too much. The idea is to let...
