seeing as how no one makes kits that fit the mini mill I have or it seems like none fit (Air Spring) I cobbled together my own belt drive for my Wholesale Tool...
Are you sure none of the kits fit that mill? It looks like a standard Sieg X2 to me, but sometimes it can be hard to spot the clones so I could be wrong. My...
I want to thank the group for all the suggestions and observations. I ordered the mill and lathe ( plus accessories) just before Xmas from Micro Mark and...
well the air spring kit that LMS sold did not fit, I bought it, where the strut is suppose to fit inside the column it won't because there is a rib inside the...
Looks good! I'm in the process of building a belt drive for mine too. Making a V-pulley on the lathe has been a learning experience. What plans did you use?...
If you are in the US, Sears sells a pretty nice grinder stand. It is heavy enough that you can place it anywhere and it doesn't "walk". I have mine on the...
the v=grooves I cut to depth with a parting tool then plunge cut them with a HSS tool ground to the angle needed and opened them to the width, I found the belt...
This looks just like the one I bought from HF for $34.95.. Not finding it in current online catalog though. May be discontinued, check your store. Bob ... ...
I too own the HF one...and while not as fancy looking at that SEARS one.. I still like the HF one..its heavy/rigid.. I put a larger plate on the top (10x18 I...
Seems to have been replaced by this: http://www.harborfreight.com/universal-bench-grinder-stand-3184.html I bet the wider base is much more stable. If you want...

Last year I bought a nice-looking import 3" from a very well-respected online vendor. It cost about $75 IIRC. I've been using it occasionally since the. ...
I built a power feed for my X2 clone. I used a tube with a pin through it to slide over the end of the X lead screw, which has a slot in the end. I made a...
I have that HF 3184 stand. I used it to mount my Star Bullet Lube/Sizer machine. Whats nice is that the top is solid so you can drill your mounting holes...
Welcome. There's no reason you need a rotary table for that clutch project. Mill the long leg of the J-slot on the mill. Then turn the part 90 degrees in the...
Would you happen to have a link to the article? If it was in print, would you know the magazine and issue? I'd like to read it. A lot of this reminds me of...
I have yet to unbox my Micro Mark mini mill because it's taking much longer than expected to get my workbench built for it. The good news is that I'm into the...
Nice! i had mostly decided to make my own until I called lms yesterday. I was thinking about the fact that their mini mill has a longer table than the other x2...
In all the earlier discussion, I'm not sure if anyone mentioned the "precision" aspect of screwless vises, specifically that the sides are parallel and at...
If you want to get the 3" LMS vice, they have it on sale this week for $75USD http://littlemachineshop.com/products/weekly_special.php?Source=SOTW -rw ...
Curious: where can I find the clutch PDF you refer to? I ask 'cuz my power feed has no such item - it just shuts off from overload or grinds to a halt if it...

Small world! LOL I thought the videos were pretty good. Time lapse of the cleanup - well - I could have used a bit more detail here, but I understand as it...
