Pimping the mini-lathe

E30 is up. The first time I used tool offsets, including a crash due to my lack of understanding combined with carelessnes.

I just uploaded episode 31...

Episode 32. This is to fix up a screw up I made.

A set screw should work just fine on your pulley.

one other thing that works well for protecting the parts in the lathe is to cut some aluminum strips the width of the step on the outer part of you lathe jaw then bend them around the jaw so they hook on the jaw. this holds them in place so it's easy to load your parts. once you make them you can take them off and on when needed if you can remember where you put them

looks like I am going to be binge watching this whole series and taking notes for my upcoming G0602 build .

I have some fitted soft jaw copper shims like that for my four jaw, but didn't have any for the three jaw.

looks like I am going to be binge watching this whole series and taking notes for my upcoming G0602 build .

I am sure that the G0602 is significantly more rigid than the mini lathe.
