The cutter should always be dead center to the chuck or slightly! Above, center height, the cutter can be set at any angle which best suits the cutter, depending on the grind angle of the cutter, it gets really technical but easy enough to learn if you want to, I would say keep that little cutter sharp and make sur you use oil on each piece you cut!! as this helps alot!!

A little safety tip Steve. Always take your chuck keys out of the chuck! I’ve seen people leave them in and then start the lathe sending them flying out of the chuck at high speed. Enjoy! Cheers!

That's brilliant. I definitely need something like that for making certain parts for some of my model planes.
-
That is an excellent little bit of kit bro and will come in handy for guys like us. Nice one 👍🤘
-
That looks like a fun little lathe and a tiny lathe is still better than no lathe! I'm looking for a small 12v lathe for kids to turn small wooden parts in a solar workshop. Makers gotta make!
-
I am glad I kept my machining text book because if I get this I have some instructions too.
-
A cheap upgrade is to bolt it to a concrete garden slap, the weight of the concrete helps to absorb the vibration of the lathe, giving the parts a better finish. Cool little lathe, I have thought about getting one and the adding a cheap cnc control just to turn the dials .

JohnnyQ90 awesome and there's some vietnamese guy that turns single cylinder bikes into twins/4 cyls who is equally as awesome
-
That intro clip had unnecessary levels of tension 😂
-

Man I want one. Trying to get into making jewelry. Someday soon I'll drop the change for it

That's defo sweet, but I'd go for the bigger one, if I could afford it. It looks like it can reconfig to a milling machine. I think I have found my new fav web site, that's for sure.
-
I wonder if there's an independent 4 jaw chuck that would fit it.
-
Nice video, thanks :)
-
Shhh! Don't tell anyone else of JohnnyQ or he'll become too popular. /s His engineering and craftsmanship are master level.

Hell yeah brother

So basically you ordered a 1/10 scale lathe then 🤣. I have a lathe and mill on hand here at home , though am a retired Toolmaker .

Hi 👋🏻! this mini lathe is really awesome 👌🏼! Great presentation 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi, did you say that only items of a max of 10mm will fit into the headstock? I am also curious if a long item can go through the other end, into the headstock? I am trying to figure out if I can put a 13mm pool cue shaft through the other end of one of these mini lathes, in order to do repairs on pool cue tips. Like cutting the tip off, and replacing it. So, that is the reason for my original question. Thanks.
