Mini Lathe Lever Locking Tailstock Upgrade
G'day,
As a lot of you will know, I speak very highly of these little mini lathes. For the price and size, they can really punch above their weight. One thing I have been meaning to upgrade for a very long time is the tailstock locking mechanism. This does not apply to all mini lathes, but it seems to be very common for sieg branded models to have a nut locking design on the tailstock, rather than an eccentric locking lever. The nut can be very difficult to reach due to the limited space on the lathe and the time spent undoing it can really add up if you are doing a job where you need to make frequent use of the tailstock.
Today I will be upgrading the tailstock to have a lever locking system/lever lock. I will be making use of my mini lathe, and my new mini vertical mill. I will also be replacing the locking plate and stud.
Cheers
