    Hobby Lathe Question

    Sherline and Taig lathes are US-made and intended for hobbyists. Both companies make small mills as well, should your needs expand.

    Connecting my thunder bolt laser

    Try asking your question on the Thunderlaser FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/globalthunderlaserusers For Facebook, it's a pretty decent group. If you bought it new from the US distributor you should be able to get a free 1-hr start-up session and you can also get excellent support...

    FS: Morgan scraping video (VHS) and new Anderson Bros. carbide scraper $75 + shipping

    As above, the video is VHS and the scraper with carbide is new, and never used. Looks like shipping will be $25-30 by FedEx ground; the scraper is too long for a USPS large FR box. Open to cheaper shipping methods if there are any.

    FWIW, I've got an H&G brochure in PDF format that has some very basic operating info on a variety of their heads, usually 1 page per model number. PM me with your email address if you want a copy.

    WTB 1 5/64 5C collet

    Hardinge sells them for around $50, plus shipping but it sounds like you want something cheaper. Shars has imports for <$10 new that are supposed to be <= 0.0006" TIR at 1" out from the face.

    Thunderbolt laser?

    As you probably know CO2 lasers of less than 200 watt power will not engrave metal, but can mark it with spray on products. If you want to engrave, then you probably want a fiber laser. Keep in mind that there are thousands of folks with sub-$10k lasers trying to make side hustle money, so...

    Thunderbolt laser?

    I bought a Nova 24 with a 60-watt, glas, CO2 laser several years ago. It sees light duty, but is still running just fine. It is a Chinese laser, but sold by a distributor in the US - Thunder Laser USA. The price includes everything you need to run in a basic format, including chiller, air...

    FS - Qty 2 CBX DRO Systems

    FWIW, the manufacturer rated the CBX DRO accuracy at +/- 0.002" over 12" and that was exactly the error I measured with the old one I had on a Clausing 8520 mill. Not too good for a commercial shop but probably adequate for hobby work, especially as the error seemed to linear with distance...

    Instrument repair

    M.R. Tool Repair in Crystal Lake, IL usually gets good reviews. All I could online for him was his FB group but Google should turn up contact info. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1300599206626103/

    Help me pick a bench top turret lathe?

    There was a guy around South Detroit somewhere a few years ago that was selling plans for turret lathe accessories for a Sherline lathe and that might be something to consider if you are really limited to a benchtop lathe. You will be limted to really small depths of cut in steel, though...
