Last month a close friend of my bought an Enco 7x10 mini lathe, and asked me to spice it up for him!
The first thing I did was to make a quick change tool post, and a set of tool holders. Then I made a tool setting gage which allows quick setting of the tool height so it will always be on centerline of the spindle!
For starters, I measured the AXA size tool holders, an made a full set 50% smaller! At 1/2 scale, a 3/16" or 5mm square tool bit will sit perfectly below center!
Here are some images of the finished products.
