A few more photos.
Also you could use the collet blocks and drawbar that Shopmaster sells. Works with a 3, 4, or 6 jaw chuck.

I had a sketch at the time, but, it is long since gone. These are important measurements I found on my phone.

You may need a new Hall switch. I had to replace mine. The light on the switch should be lit when near the magnet.
For what it's worth, I have never got a G76 cycle to work right. I use G32 I think. I have some notes for what worked written in my manual but don't have it with me right now. I fought the thing for...
I have a couple of shop made wrenches that I am pretty sure fit the older Shopmaster Bridgemill lathe spindle. They were quickly made when I needed them so they are not perfect but worked. Also a...
What kind of accuracy are you looking for? Plus or minus .0002 or .002?
First, I'm no expert by any means, so take what I say with a grain of salt. Seems like lack of accuracy could be caused by...
Limit switches do add to the safety somewhat but they are no guarantee by any means. They are valuable in setting up work offsets too. Each pair of switches on an axis is wired in series and normally...
I didn't know a set-through type chuck was even an option for this machine.
Seems like I am always chucking stuff by the threads so I decided to look at getting a six jaw chuck to hopefully cause less damage to threads. I ordered a cheap Chinese Sanou six jaw 6 inch chuck...
This is my ports and pins set up in lathe mode. Hopefully it helps.
How do the numbers on the Delos dro compare to the Mach 3 dro? Is there some lost movement somewhere? Are the steps per unit set up correctly? Backlash?
Maybe a video would help.
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to install limit switches on my Mill Turn machine. I found only one or two examples of limit switches installed on Shopmaster machines and nothing on...
I got my 5C collet assembly in yesterday as well as a rotary table. Steady rest due in today.
Here is a link to jlmccuan's thread which helped me greatly in understanding how to use CSS with Mach 3 turn.

Have been playing with engraving using a spring loaded engraving tool from 2L inc. At 3000 rpm and 15 ipm, it seems to work really well and the software that came with the tool is super simple.

@timshufflin,
I don't know much, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
I think the Shopmaster is capable of all the operations that you mentioned, turning, threading, milling keyways,...
Things are pretty slow around here so I thought I'd upload some photos of my Mill Turn 2017.
I traded my old Tri-Power machine in to Shopmaster around the end of June 2017. JT gave me 50% of the...
Yep, you got it.
