	I think the way I would approach this, based on the need to be exactly centered through the length of your shaft, would be to start out with a shaft larger...

	Randy, I'm sorry I misread your question. I didn't even think about centering a piece the long way, thiugh you clearly state thst. As Brian said, most of us...

	That's not cheating, that's using the noodle. I do that sort of centering all the time by using a MT3 dead center in the spindle, bring the head down to drive...

	The place is still a total mess but.... I threw up a 16 foot wall & added two 3-0 solid core dorrs for bench tops. now I have plenty of room for my Lathe &...

	Jerry, Here what I posted in the home machinist group about how I managed to get this job done. Just a follow up. As I noted, I don't own a lathe, but am...

	Randy, That's a ingenious use of the mini-mill and a rotary table! Thanks for the description of the process. Leo (pearland, tx)...

	I've seen a lot of answers to the issue of bracing the column on the Griz mill. Is there a kit out there to do this, or is it pretty much roll your own? Randy...

	I have the possibility of getting my hands on a few sets of those chinese digital scales/quill kits. It would be ideal for the mini-mill. A set of 1 12"...

	Bruno, Just for your info, the 12" vertical and horizontal are useful. The ^" is too big and useless. Jerry F...

	Yes, and the 8" is, in my opinion, too small. Jerry...

	... Works well on the mini-mill Y axis. Otherwise, 12 inches is just fine. Harvey...
2146		jjfear	May 8, 2003 11:35 pm
	Harvey. A 6" one works fine on the Y axis, and saved a couple of bucks. The 8" is long enough for a 7x10 lathe. Jerry F...
2147		trainman80005	May 9, 2003 2:57 am
	Harvey: I agree with Jerry. I installed a 6" on my "y" axis on both my mini mill and my 7 X 12 Grizzly Lathe and they are a good length in both applications. ...

	Bill, I have the same model mini-mill. (love it) I am considering this as a power table feed, not the Z movement. A nice, cheap variable speed with slip...

	Are you aware that LMS has a powerfeed kit, p/n 1905, for the mini-mill? Graciously, Jim Lakewood, CA All Hail Rube Goldberg!...
