Question: can I cut a taper with this lathe [7x10]
Document: That is what I meant by a kit of parts - ready to be set up to perform, but 'out of the box'? No way - but as I found out, no lathe should be be regarded as 'ready to run'.This product is not a bad lathe, just cheap, like so many others clones from foreign shores.
Plus they have parts; such as a lathe dog and faceplate that CM doesn't even offer. Hope this helps. So if you are thinking of going to Harbor Freight to get one, I would save up more money and go somewhere else like Grizzly or Enco.
I bought mine from Harbor Freight as a ready to run machine. At least that was the plan, as I knew little about lathes at the time. Roll forward a couple of years and I feel I have one or two comments that may be of value. First off, any new lathe is essentially a kit of parts. Once you have scraped off the packing grease and given it a nice wipe down you have this unknown monster staring at you. Next you will need to set it up.
By then you will have exactly the tool you want/need. And this applies to every lathe regardless of price, so don't worry about this being cheap. It's a good start and all the tools you buy will work on the upgrade you may yet buy as lathes of this ilk are very much standard in their tapers and mountings (tapers...?
Go to any search engine and look for advice on setting up a lathe - there is a lot out there and it's all valuable to one extent or another. While this is going on you will need to add cutting tools, hex keys (adjustments) and some goodies like starter kits and replacement screw sets from Little Machine Shop (add this site to your browser, you will go there frequently).
This machine does all I expected and more, the only thing that causes me a little concern is the plastic feed gears. I think the gears should be metal, although they seem to work fine
That reminded me the store demo model was missing lots of parts. where I work made us stop buying parts when things went bad so now I am wondering if the company will be around long. And I got the extended warrenty lots of good it will do if they can't get parts or are out of business.
Picked up at the store. Unboxed and the eye shield was missing. Called to get part. Is a days trip to take back.Got a bad foreign conection. Was told part was not available. When I said it could not be used I was given tech phone#. They told me they could not order out of stock parts.
I first tried getting a rheostat speed control and replaced it, but it did no good. No difference. I then ordered the entire control box and it did no good. I also tried using the control box and rheostat from my first machine before junking it, but it didn't work either. Now I have another $500.00 paper weight, unless I need to use it on one speed.
I have had two Central Machinery 7" x 10" Mini-lathes. The first one I wore smooth out and finally ended up selling it as junk iron for $8.00. Although when I junked it, I had removed a non-working on/off switch and the speed control knob was inaccurate. Also, the auto-feed lever stayed loose and had to be held up with a rubber band when in use. I bought a second one and have had problems with it too.
Answer: no
