Anyone know wherr I might find 1/4 in or 6mm T nuts..I have 2machines now which require them and nothing else to make them on..Chronos were the only firm who listed them but were out of stock and now seem to have gone..thank you
Thread: Installing a new lathe
02/09/2014 15:55:12
I helped someone do something similar once but he used mild steel channel as a frame on the floor and sat a machine on it..I had to drill holes in it for the 1/2 inch bolts with a hand held electric drill as there wasnt enough power for anything bigger..Great fun(?)
Thread: Ama 12 300 v sieg x2

Given myself a problem now..The Amolco is going to be attached to an ,as yet unbought, xy table which means I ll have to make a bracket of some sort..The best way to do that I suppise is on a milling machine..Aahhh!! Wonder if its worth tryong to find an old Myford lathe bed, grinding it shorter and using a big xy table that fits Myford..I m sure John ,and hope, you will have many years of trouble free milling with your xj12 300 ,I just hope I do!Does anyone know of a big ish milling table that would fit a Myford bed please?

THATS AMORE
When the moon hits your eye
like a big pizza pie
thats Amolco!!!!

Couldnt resist it

I would buy an xy table-I dont have a lathe it would fit..I m sure your mill would make more sense..still not sure though!
26/08/2014 19:26:25
The Amolco doesnt havea table so I can buy one to suit.Only trouble is I havent paid for it yet and am now wondering again..Perhaps I just keep off the forum until I ve got one!
26/08/2014 18:26:24
Thank you Russel..I am nit entirely happy with electric things at the best of times but all these machines are more than a little prone to problemsand all I would do is spend more money on replacing the whole lot..I have found something though whichcomes with good easy to replace elctrics,belt drive and imperial measurements..It s an Amolco..It will be adequate for the things I intend to do..and stress free..

I found the threads on the forum and dont want an x2! At least a new amadeal would have a gguarantee .still looking for some older and British that doesnt weightoo much though..
26/08/2014 08:53:18
I had decided to buy a new 12 300 in a few months or a lightly used x2 next door to me now..I think they are virtually identical but the x2 only has a 350 w motor-x12- 550, its 15 kg lighter but slightly larger end mill capacity..Womdered if anyone had experience of an x2 with the smaller motor please..
thank you..

14/08/2014 17:25:26
It will be a short one thanks Rod..I ll have to keep looking..Someone s got one somewhere..I think my first project will be a little canon partly to practice tapers on..!
14/08/2014 16:11:54
Millhill-Sherline do im fact do a 0 mt arbor with a chuck..Unfortunately at 1/2 lb weight and ?67 in money it wasnt pointless, just a tad expensive..!
14/08/2014 15:38:50
I m wonder if anyone knows where I might be able to find an MT0 arbor preferably with a drill chuck atached..I ts to use in a miniature lathe built by my Grandfather 60 years ago-I ve finally decided to make something on it!Thank you
