Here are some modifications and accessories I’ve made for my imported 7x12 mini lathe. As many of you
may know, these machines are comparatively inexpensive, but the downside is that some tweaking is sometimes
necessary to improve accuracy and reliability. I’m afraid I don’t have detailed drawings for any of
these projects because I mostly just figured things out as I went along. If anyone has questions though, feel
free to contact me.
