    "small" lathe tooling - any pointers?

    I happen to have 3 tripan 111s (lol), one came with my Holbrook minor (it was a factory accessory funny enough - weird for a british lathe) and two of them came from a really good deal on ebay kleinanzeigen that an instagram friend in germany very generously bought on my behalf and mailed. helps...

    "small" lathe tooling - any pointers?

    Hi all, so I've got this Lorch LLN that I bought a couple years ago, recently I've had to use it a couple times to make a few small pins/shafts and it got me thinking that maybe it's time to actually tool up to make it more useful and less of a comedy item in my shop. The parts I've used it...

    some light comedy - "dog's breakfast" mag chuck

    Deckel S0 clone, scarborough ON

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/984404256445526/?mibextid=kL3p88&rdid=yn3HkX7Nyr59qubt Another one - a real S0 this time. this one looks pretty hammered and I would not advise spending 1000$ on it... and in case anyone was wondering if a real Deckel is worth much more than a clone...

    Deckel S0 clone, scarborough ON

    https://www.facebook.com/share/iEGGRkMet78NkzR1/?mibextid=kL3p88 not my ad, looks like a good deal though. I had a pregraph U2 just like this and it was pretty solid. not sure what's up the the work head on it - maybe an endmill or drill grinding thing?
