The Mark 2, as I mentioned about a week ago, takes a standard (but not too common) 2L type belt. You'd need to measure to be able to specify the length to...
Usually just lurking and learning, I now have a question. I have found a 6X24 MkII (I believe) model 10100 lathe. Appears pristene with 3 jaw w/both jaw...
Major difference between this and the 6x18 is that the 6x18 has twice as many speeds...16 vs. 8. Accessories and many parts will work with either, unless the...
Look on ebay. there are usually a lot of these things-101s, not 618s. Good for small work, were Sear Dunlop brand originally, a step below craftsman. John M....

Also, there's the Beall collet chuck ... http://www.bealltool.com/colletchk.htm It sounds like it's nearly the same thing. I called Beall a couple years ago...
Snip Hi All, I'm looking for a steadyrest for my 618 Unsnip I also have a 618, and am lacking the steady rest and follower rest. What I've decided to do (in...
I have not seen one of these in person, nor do I have any connection with this guy, but the price seems right. He's manufacturing a number of things for the 6"...
... I called Beall a while back because I was interested in using one of their chucks on my wood lathe (Delta, 1 x 8 spindle). I was interested in the chuck...
Here is a link to a QCTP that I made (based on a design I found somewhere on the web). There is an aluminum spacer under the toolpost because I forgot about...
Ed, Looks like you came out with a nice set of tooling. I'm curious to know a little more about the knurling tool. The photo doesn't clearly show how it's...
Hank, the knurling tool is based on a 3-part article in HSM that started in January of 2001. That design had the arms pivoting in slots cut into a large chunk...
Bruno, I contacted him and he had exactly one left! He won't be making anymore till after the Holidays. I bought it as fast as PayPal would process the bill!...
I'd like to hear from anyone else who has a knurling tool for their 6 inch lathe. This general subject doesn't seem to come up too often and the knurling tools...

I got the scissors style from little machine shop - less than $30 - it is mounted on a 3/8" tool stub, so it'll fit into the tool holder on your QCTP. Works...

That is the type of holder that came with my 618, and the source of the two knurls on my holder. I built the scissor holder because I had read several concerns...
Mike, This one looks pretty good because it will even fit on the original TSE QCTP with 7/16 high slots (for 3/8 bits), the Chinese steel clone of the TSE from...
Just brass for knurling. Like you mentioned, I think it would overstress this little guy to knurl steel with it. I am going to look into a scissor holder. ...
