My new favorite barrel trimmer

Duh.... I've tried them all... then last night I looked up and there, covered in shavings from another project was my 7*14 mini lathe. Does a great job!

Geez Tom ... I have one of those hidden in the mess of the garage ... an excuse to uncover it and use it. Need to see if I have an MT3 to MT2 adapter.

Nice!

I just bought an er32 mt3 chuck and just carry the collet (blanks and all) between the two. Works great!

Won't work for me as the Wood lathe is MT2 on the headstock.

I have used my MT2 accessories in the TS of the metal 7x14 lathe which is MT2.

I need to uncover it ... I have a set of new true imperial (inch) feed screws and dials (.050 inch per turn) I got for a song and a dance so I don't have to get a headache trying to convert from mm to inch. Anther reason to uncover it.
