Micro-Mark 7x14 and Ebay 4" 4 Jaw self-centering stock run-out check

This is the same stock I used on the 3" chuck, but now I turned another part of the stock to check the run-out and see if there is any difference between the smaller chuck that came with the lathe and the new larger chuck I just bought for larger stock. NOTE: The purpose of these videos is only to show you this particular mini lathe. I'm fairly new at actually machining so please don't take anything I do as being the right way of machining anything. I make mistakes and I don't mind being corrected so if something I'm doing is wrong please let me know.

Demonstrating the Dream Cutter

OCT 28 2011: THIS IS Outdated. See NEW demo of the Mini-Lathe Dream Cutter product demo HERE youtu.be JUNE 2011 UPDATE: This tool IS Patented, has been for years! However this is NOT the final Dream Cutter, much innovation has been applied since this prototype. The new Mini-Lathe Dream Cutter cuts a ball (and parts it off) in a single operation. The new Dream Cutter can be seen at dreamcutter.com and is completely innovative and also under PAT PEND. Email me at sales@dreamcutter.com for info. Production units are FINALLY emerging from manufacturing, ready to ship this July 2011. UPDATE: Please visit dreamcutter.com to see the re-engineered Mini-Lathe Dream Cutter. Its a radical departure from traditional lathe accessories that is certain to raise the bar as to what can be done with a mini-lathe. Why Limit Your Dreams? Introducing the Dream Cutter, a versatile turning accessory for import 8x12 and 8x14 metal lathes. Replacing the compound as a direct bolt on accessory, the Dream Cutter is low profile so precious space is conserved on the saddle. The Dream Cutter features a rapid setting adjustable pivot that enables precise radius grooves and ball turning. It also can be used for facing and traditional turning operations saving time by not having to install the compound head to complete a project. The rugged 3/8 steel tool holder even holds knurling tools securely. No other accessory short of full CNC conversion offers more speed, flexibility and capability to your mini ...

Review - MicroFlow Coolant System

Here we review a machine-tool coolant system from Micro-Mark. This is not the best solution for cooling the cutters / workpiece on your lathe or mill. In fact, we strongly discourage home machinists from purchasing this product based on our terrible experience. Even though it did not cost very much, it is not worth it. Too Many Parts aims to provide viewers with brief reviews and how to demos presenting tools and machines of interest to the home machinist, mechanic and hobbyist. The demonstrations and opinions are based on equipment and machinery we bought and use in our home garage workshop to restore cars, build electric vehicles (EVs) and do general machining of metals (steel, aluminum and brass) and plastics (including urethane). We try to show you the good and bad features and present the pros and cons so that you can make an informed decision about what brand or model to buy and where to get it, hopefully at the best price.

ITS A MALL WORLD ...a poem by a 12" tall alchemyst!

This video shows the testing and editing (maybe the 2nd or 3rd edit??)of only part of the most ambitious and costly miniaturized project to date called "the Alchemyst's Clocktower. " The star (the Alchemyst) is part child's poet,Part self-pitying bore,Part Insult comic,Part absurdist, part occult Philosopher...and very protective of his tower! After several years the second tower was completed in 2008 This project was not funded by a multi-million dollar corporation or film studio .It was built by one man from scratch from an Idea that evolved over the span of nearly a decade.. that being said, Blake Bolger,Dru Smith, Tom Blue, and Richard Landon all deserve a huge special "thankyou" not only for their generous moral and technical support but also for believing in the dream .Blake made a second set of much improved hand- stitched costumes for the alchemyst.. The control cables going into the tiny little head head pass through a metal spring tube only 1/16th of an inch wide! His body components were machined by hand on a clockmakers lathe out of brass and steel. For rehearsals his grimoire is absent from his right hand...The figure is part of a 9 foot tall fully mechanical tower inspired by the astrological clock in Prague and dedicated to the alchemysts of old. It was constructed of traditional materials and the figure itself was made using century old techniques from the feet up. Below the decks however he is controlled by a complex array of theme park technology making ...
