   Description : This is a jig saw that can also be used as a filing machine.
This is a slight rework of the Duplex one from the early 50s. There is another
one that is a jigfiler, fretsaw and circular saw as a saddle mounted attachment
for the lathe. As I thought that is from a period I have not yet scanned in so
it will be a few days.

Thanks for the information; I really never thought
about it since I use the dial indicator to center
on the 4 jaw chuck.
MarvH

Marv, I don't think he was enquiring about a standard 4-jaw chuck.
His use of the term "scroll" indicates that he is talking about a
self-centering 4-jaw, which they do make.  I asked him this on another
group and he has never replied.

Yes, go to Micro Mark or Littlemachinedshop.com. They both have 4 jaw chucks
that fit a HF 7x10. J&L Industrial has then also. Go to Varmit Al's site
where he has a discussion of the 3 and 4 jaw chucks. I recall he also
discusses a 4 inch 3 jaw and 4 jaw chuck and the largest you can likely get
on the machine. There is a way a drill out the cross slide and remount the
tool holder to gain about an extra 2 inches in the diameter of work  you can
safely turn. I think that would be the upper limit but would not be bad for a
small hobby lathe.'
Hope this helps.

hi all,
i need to mount a 4 jaw scroll chuck onto a 7x10 HF mini lathe. i
cant find 4 jaw scroll chucks that are small size.  the smallest one
is 5 in.  is there a place that has 3 in 4 jaw scroll chucks
economically?
i also want to know if i can buy a plate to mount a taig or sherline
4 jaw scroll chuck onto the 7x10 mini lathe.  the taig has a 3/4 x16
thread. i am not a machinist so i dont know how to get stuff done and
i use the lathe for a different purpose (wood turning).
can anyone sell me such a back plate for to mount a taig or sherline
chuck onto a 7x10 mini lathe?
pl advice by sending me email directly.
thank you very much.
phar

There's nothing wrong with the size of the files. I believe the
problem sevendogs refers to is printing them onto a single page.
I save pictures to disk and then load and print from a viewer that
allows me to scale them to fit on a page.  Even copying and pasting
into word or excel will work as you can resize the pictures in those
applications.

I uploaded these as medium size photos.  If there is a way to reduce
the size, I will gladly do so.  I looked in help but could not find
just how to do it.  Perhaps I could delete them and try reloading.
Any suggestions?

Due to the massive virus attacks on several groups I have turned off
attachments for now.

JWE

full size is too large to print without doing computer calesthinics.
the use of such large files creates a problem for some of us who
cannot manipulate these files.

Gentlemen and Ladies if present
I know have all 15 of the articles by Derek Beck (First Affaire With A
Lathe) uploaded the  mlathemods file area and optimized as best I can. The
total download for the 15 files will be 15mg and this is why I put the
articles up individually so you can download them as you have time and read
them at your leisure.

I will leave this set up for at least several months so all will have time
to get it. I also have the 8 part series by Duplex on threading up on the
mlprojects files.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mlprojects/files/Threading/

I am currently looking at some more tutorial type articles on general
machine practice and some beginners series as well. There is a very good set
by Westbury and one by Duplex that I do not have scanned as yet. When I get
them in the computer in a month or so I will look at switching one or both
of those series in place of this one.

I just uploaded a photo of the clamp style toolpost system I am
working on.  It is similar to the clamp style sold by hf and others.
I made this out of  7075 aluminum and annodized the pieces.  Will
have to re-annodize when I get the right dye to get a consistant
color,the rit did not work out very well.
The 2 holders in the back of the picture are a boring bar holder and
conventional tool holder.  The 2 in the front are the ones that I am
trying out.  They are a facing and turning holder that use carbide
inserts. I used some TPG-221 and 222 inserts I had on hand. Using a
simple hold down clamp the same holder will work with almost any
similar size insert.  I turned and faced some large diamater
aluminium castings I made and found the surface to be as good or
better than that of a conventional insert tool holder and toolpost.
   I will be traveling on business this week and hope to find time to
finish a perliminary drawing for the pieces.

I have uploaded two different tool post articles and the
articles from Westbury on the verticle milling slide for
lathe mounting.

I have cut several metric threads on both the HF 7x10
and Grizzly 7x12 using just what came in the box with
the machine and the best setup gears wise recomended by
the gears.exe program from Varmint Al. These threads
were from the shortest about 1" long to the longest
about 2" and were checked with indusry gauges on all but
the ones for a custom feed bushing for our Citizen L20
Swiss CNC screw machine. These were checked with the
adjustment nut from the machine. There will be no
measurable difference between threads cut with the inch
lead screw and the metric lead screw if you use the same
gauge or nut to check them with while cutting them.

I plan on purchasing the 7x12 mini lathe from Homier and have a
question regarding conversion to metric threading. I found a kit for
these lathes at http://www.littlemachineshop.com and was wondering if
anyone has used the kit in the past. I also noticed some 4 jaw chucks

There has been some disscussion on several groups about the best way
to make new cross slides and top slides. This set of articles by
Martin Cleeve from the late 50s show one way which is very easy and
can be done without a milling machine or T slot cutters. Also his
method of cutting the 60 deg angle on the dovetail parts is uniqe to
say the least. He also gives some very good arguments in favor of T
slotted slides. A lot of the improvement ideas he used for the EW
lathe in that period could be used for improving any of the small
import machines in use today.

There is another in this series of articles on building a top slide
using similar methods.

I have seen jtsmach on eBay sell a 4" 4 jaw that looks pretty decent for
$50. You will have to make a adapter plat, but that's not hard.
