A friend of mine has one he seems happy with it. Mine is almost the same exact lathe there are a few differences mine is G4003 with the collet closer added his is the G4003g. I am also happy with mine.

Here is my set up for sharpening end mills but you'll have to watch a video to see it sorry.

I have a build in progress I know my vid's are not accepted real well here but here is a link to a play list https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLp95TDxCzDrX-2g6rPVkQhsAovdt86us7

Was playing with my Tiny engines I built some time back. I had an ignition box I used from engine to engine. Well I decided to put dedicated ignition systems on them and I thought whill I have them apart I would show my set up for the hall sensor. I didn't want a spark on every revolution so I...

Sue (my wife) took some pictures of Mini Hog

Ok have the Mini Hog mounted on its box and got the exhaust tubes nickel plated it's about ready to be put up on the shelve and move on to the next engine.

Steve I second that feeling! Foketry I have been setting on the side following along things are looking nice!

I had positioned tank down on the base and it ran good there ( seems to not care to much the height of the tank) but I just didn't like the looks of it. I didn't like the fuel hose going up and around the exhaust pipe so I made a riser mount to put it on. I have a box/stand in the works for the...

I been wanting to try nickel and copper plating. So I decided to practice on the old zoomy pipes I made for the Little Demon engine (I since made headers). The big thing I see with the plating is you need to clean the pieces really good and warm your solution up (warming helps speed it up)...

Ok relocated fuel tank lower didn't like where it was. I did a test run to see just how long a full fuel tank would run. So here is a video of a full tank run.

Ok that was dumb man nothing like a simple thing to make you feel dumb once you find it LOL!

Fiend of mine got his dirt cheep the owner had moved and hardly ever used it. When he go it moved to his new spot it kept blowing the breaker. He couldn't figure it out and didn't want to spend any money fixing it so my friend bought it just for the tank. I took a look at the motor and seen it...

Lol Thats how I ended up with my compressor the reed valve was broken and the owner gave it to my just for coming and picking it up. I ended up using some spring steel shim stock. Haven't had any trouble with that (knock on wood)

Well it is about 9 years ago that I was working on some Ringbom engines when my compressor threw a rod. I milled one out of a piece of stock I had and it is still going strong (knock on wood). The compressor has been a good working unit since and it has gotten lots of usage. I would have never...

Etched out some double ignition boards. Soldered up one of the boards and tested it out. Works as it should with a coil I wound and I also checked it with a coil pack from I believe a Ford. I used some resistors to bring the resistance up to over 1 to not over work any of the 3 IC components...

I spent time trying to get the carb set I think I have it close. I also was still having trouble over heating my ignition board. I think I have that sorted out now. So now I can put the ignition box back together and start thinking of a display stand for it. I did square up some blocks for my...

Well I spent the morning trying to find where a lower end knock was coming from. (I had tore it down to powder coat some of the parts) I kept thinking it was end play in the crank and was trying different things to get it to run without the knock. No success, I was almost ready to give up and...

I'm using a mall slow cooker with a thick plexi glass top that I installed a vacuum gauge and a check valve that I attach a hand vacuum pump to. I let the crock pot get the wax to 86 degrees c and then pull a good vacuum on it. So far it has worked out great. I can see the coils and judge when...

I wound 2 coils this morning thats 24,000 wraps of 44 gauge wire. I think that will be it for awhile. I'll finish up these 2 and put the stuff away again. The wax is warming up right now that takes about an hour or so to get to temp. I'm finding it pretty easy now after doing (I think) 9 of them...
