this is a hf unit, same as a sig, made in the same plant but remember each vendor can spec what they want.
took awhile to setup but does good fro what it is. i replaced the composite head gear set with metal and you will see two white plug heads that i open and add oil to gearing when needed. the composite will break and keep belts in stock as if you over load with the metal set, it will strip the belt. buy a adjustable post set, WAY easier than having to shim tooling.
i make guitars and some times use the mini for parts that the big boy lathe startup torque would destroy.
Lots of great info here, thanks. And nice work, that setup is beautiful!
For someone like myself who actually owns a home machine shop the Harbor Freight quality machines are disqusting.
Attempting to Weed through the amount of Pure Bull$hit put out by paid Chinese Influencers on the web touting they can hold .0001" much less .010" (which is closer to the truth) with these junk machines can be daunting. Often times the Tooling can exceed the cost of the machine. The floor space the machinery requires can house 2 or 3 motorcycles. The time required to hone the skills required to perform the task at hand, maintain the machiner, and operate the machinery could afford several 50 State Tours
Make a friend who has a Machine shop. Offer a "Work Trade", offer to purchase the material needed x3 so he aquires some stock out of the deal - you would be far better off
