extremely accurate
I got this is a test I wanted to turn my woodwork lathe into a steel lathe not for anything fancy just for doing odd bits and ends anyway the toolpost is really good quality it's a 4 way to post extremely accurate would recommend to anybody well worth the money
Oh I forgot to tell you it did the job well
You might be wondering why I've put 4-way well when I was working in engineering the same type of tool post used to set it up before tools in it's easy if you give it a bit of thought when mounting the tool in the tool post don't let the back of the tool go past the end of the toolpost do this all the way round and you will be able to mount 4 toolsRead full review

Mini lathe top slide tool holder
Used this with one to replace the one on my brand new warco super mini lathe, which had been machined very poorly. This topside works as it should , and has been machined very well , it still needs dismantling and burs removed , but still most important of all the machining to the slide is very good.Read full review

Sturdy good priced
Haven't used yet but you can tell when a tool is good or not up to the job just by the feel and finish well I can and this feels fab and ideal for what I need iam a hobbyist and will meet my needs but I would say it could be pushed and would perform ok as said you get what you pay for but I think this is a bargain and that doesn't happen often my lathe is homemade apart from a few parts so I thought I would invest in this item and glad I did.Read full review

compound slide
this is a replacement compound slide for the C3 lathe, " no guarantee it will fit yours"
most surfaces are surface ground,"not the dovetail", has a smooth action with little backlash, the dial is not friction set but uses a grub screw, I am tempted to get another for future project at this price.Read full review

An added `Add on`.
A useful `add on` for a small lathe or milling machine. Gives added facilities to either hold a tool or work to be machined, re, a four way tool post, as sort of mini capstan but for work not tools.
Yes 5 Star to start with.Read full review

Cross slide with tool post
Nicely made little tool post and cross slide,will be a fiddle to fit to my lathe as the mounting holes in the base are too close together , but the target buyer ( hobbyist/ fiddler) such as myself will enjoy that process!.Read full review

Tool Post
I have not used it in anger yet ,,,,,, however after a few minor adjustments and oiling , it operates really smoothly ,,,,,,, only a little backlash on the cross slide !!!!!!

Good and cheap
as high qualty as one van expect for china lathe items. One was flawless and the second one had to be readjusted, to make the feedscrew run freely at the end position.

Great value mini lathe compound slide
A good value replacement spare for a sieg or real bull mini lathe to which it is a direct fit. Well machined and smooth enough in operation with not too much backlash..
