Description
This kit turns your Littlemachineshop.com 7x12 HiTorque Mini Lathe into a 7x16 lathe. It includes a bed casting, a lead screw, a rack, a chip pan, and complete instructions.
This is NOT a bolt-together kit. You must drill and tap 10 holes in the new bed casting to match your lathe. You need three metric taps: M3x0.5, M6x1.0, and M8x1.25. If you don't have metric drills, you can use letter and number drills for tap drills. (The sizes are given in the instructions.)
Chris's Tips
If you don't have the metric taps required, we have a tap and tap drill kit that has just what you need to install this kit.
Here is "not really a review" of the bed extension kit.
Buddy at The Radio Shop documents the whole process in this video.
