That link also has a link to Mini Lathe. Want all the info on what your Smith is doing and how and why? Superb read. IMHO.
Hound,
Thank you for those informative links. I had rejected the Harbor Freight Mini Lathe mostly because I handled on on display. As the author says :the HF ML is precision in name only. Really a sloppy piece of machinery and I ain't nobodies idea of qualified. I learned that ALL the shortcomings can be corrected with some work and that you can come out the other end with a truly useful Precision mini lathe that all the kids will envy.
