Thanks johnl. The only thing about the specs that bothers me with the G9972z is the low speed only going down to 150rpm. Have you run into any issues with not being able to do less than 150rpm, on large diameter stock or when threading? Also, could you elaborate on the "work in progress" comment?

Wondering if anyone has used one or both of these 2 lathes. If so, opinions on how you like them would be appreciated.

Stephan, have you considered the Taig lathe and a Taig mill. These are smaller than the mini lathes. However, they are quite capable. They are quality made in USA. The telephone and email support is excellent. I liked my first Taig lathe (purchased used) so much that I ended up buying another...

Great build.

Very nice. In the photos, Looks like a significant dimensional difference, at least in one dimension. Pleased that it worked out so well for you.

Great job.

Very nice. Looking forward to you getting it to run.

Great looking engine. How does it run?

Great find.

If that is you ;), I do really like your channel. I am sure you will get it running perfectly.

Emma, great looking engine. By the way, are you the same "Emma" with the YouTube channel?

Impressive. Just working on my 2nd basic engine, and I hope to one day being able to build something like this one.

I forgot to ask about it's capabilities. How do you like working with it? I do have a Taig lathe which is pretty small as well (which by the way performs very nicely); but, it does not look as beefy.

That's a cool looking little lathe.

Very nice little engine.

Thread Bump. Still not sold. Price Reduced to $225.00.

John, I was reviewing this thread, and I noted that I neglected to comment on the fact that you were spot on with your assessment of the worn cone pulley bore and as to the bearings 👍. I have been keeping the cone pulley lubed with oil. As I have posted, a bronze bushing was placed in the bore...

Thank's, BaronJ. The part I am not fully understanding is whether the base of the tool post rests on the top of the compound, or is it only the adjusting screw that does?

Okay. I finally obtained a 2" x 2" x 2.5" piece of mild steel. A machinist that I know just gave it to me. I may just make one that is very basic and in no form or fashion a quick change. Baron, looked at the pictures of your toolpost, again, and am having trouble visualizing how the height...
