    Does the kit provide a list of tooling needed?

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    You have seen my install and all I can say it is very rarely that interference is an issue, only when I use the 6" four jaw chuck. I'm thinking about a 5" four jaw that the cross slide scale will fit under. Vevor has a 5" 3 jaw for $82 plus I will need a 6" adapter plate for $70.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    The Roto 85 is about 2 3/4 pounds heavier than the OS 320, if you had an idea how the balance will come out it may help you make an informed decision. The other point to consider is power, I'm swinging a 26x8 prop at 6000 at WOT, normal flight is in the 4600 to 4800 rpm range. The listed prop...

    The DRO on the carriage and cross slide are nice, get them fast. Nice install.

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    Me too! Three different Ebay orders arrived yesterday, a hex ER32 collet holder, the ER16 collet set to fill out the missing sizes, and 5 ER32 collet nuts. I need four more nuts to complete the ER32 set so that I will not need to change the nuts, there are a few collets in the set that are a...

    One piece at a time, before you know it', it will be done. Did you start with a number 4 taper pin?

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I would cover the wings, it will break up the monotony of doing the finish tapes. I find I get better tapes if I blot the excess off the top of the tape rather than wipe it. What are you planning for the stitches?

    Yippee! What the postman brought

    The Amazon guy showed up today with an ER16 collet set. The sizes that arrived do not match what was advertised but that's ok I already ordered another set of collets on Ebay to complete the three missing sizes, $16 for the set, couldn't buy separate collets for less than $7 each and find the...

    Scale RCM 1/3 Scale Champ Build

    I'm really loving those 3mm pinking shears. It took several hours to do the area behind the rear window with pinking tape when I originally built the plane, here it took about 30 minutes. I find I get better results if I pretreat the fabric with Ekobond glue before cutting to the line, this...

    Transport Canada cancels MAAC exemption for model flying

    That sounds promising for you folks up north. I hope it gets resolved quickly.

    It is basically the OD of the collet in mm, not the tool holding capability. The ER16 will do about 3/8" max. The ER32 can hold up to 20 mm. The nice things about collet are you can clamp thin wall stuff, threaded portions, very accurate. The ER type collets have a wide range of clamping...

    Mini lathe (and mill) discussion.

    While doing the recent work on the lathe did quite a bit of drilling with the ER32 collet and have decided it is just too big for drilling smaller holes, ordered an ER16 with R8 mount for the mill., $60 on Amazon. 1/16" through 3/8" by 32nds except for 5/32"? Wonder why we left out 5/32"?
