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.

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.

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 ...
