The cheap Amazon reamer sets actually work quite well and are very affordable.. after 2 or so years I finally took the saddle, cross slide and compound apart and went over everything. Got the saddle to make full contact by gluing strips of sand paper to the ways and going back and forth til I was certain it would sit completely flat on the ways. Then made new clamps from brass to hold it down. Made new gibs for my cross slide and compound from brass. Also did 20TPI lead screws for both. Basically I got tired of chatter and poor finishes from everything fitting poorly. These little 7x,8x,9x import lathes are fantastic tools they just need to be gone over and all the parts fit up. It’s mind blowing how much better they work after dialing them in. So many great vids on YT to learn from on how to do it. Cool stuff thanks for sharing

That looked an awful lot like a regular, turning, facing cut to me. Milling would be sticking a tool in the chuck and the work on the slide.
@Jped2772 ай бұрын
Ok You're right I agree I'm not good with words. What I should have said was instead of milling I'm using the lathe to turn that face flat. Either way I really appreciate you watching my video and commenting.

There are lots of things that need fixed on those vevor lathes . I power mine with a central machinery 5 speed drill press. I took out the spindle and machined it to fit a pulley. You get the one with 2/5 horsepower motor. Lay the head on it's side. Now I can drill a hole in steel with a half inch drill.

What steel type did you use ?
@Jped2772 жыл бұрын
I was trying to find some ar15 steel but it wasn't available so I just got the best carbon steel I could find locally in 3/4". Welding it was a challenge. Need to preheat the anvil as much as u can and burn the welds in deep to the anvil. Not real sure they bond to cast iron but mine held up just find More of a mechanical bond than an actual weld.

That's a good question. I'm positive it would work... u may need to add a cleaner table of some plastic maybe and a new blade. Clean all the parts first. But yeah idk why it wouldn't work.

Hmm. Do you have the rubber tires on the wheels? Descent blade guides and properly adjusted?
@Jped2773 жыл бұрын
I would assume it's just an alignment issue or overly high blade tension.

I have a black and decker bandsaw that I think is basically the same saw except mine isn't drilled powered it was made with its on motor, I found a link to a posting about the same saw I have but it may still help with the drilled powered saw www.shareyourrepair.com/2015/03/find-blades-for-black-and-decker-model-9422-band-saw.html

Yes I read somewhere that they made the same saw in powered and drill powered models. I mounted a motor under mine and installed a pulley. I've upgraded to a craftsman since then tho.

@@javanthomas4122 I remember asking that same question. There is very little info about that saw out there. At first I used black tape on the lower wheel, about 5 layers did really well. I eventually ordered 1 tire for the bottom. It may never have had one on top. If I remember right it has no groove or edge to keep it In place. Although it would be best to have 2. They're not cheap for that saw. You can just measure the width and diameter of the wheel to order one online.
