If your mini lathe has a hinged chuck interlock, you may need to modify it to work with the 4″ and 5″ chucks. I don't recommend 6″ diameter chucks for the mini lathe – too heavy. On the 5″ diameter chucks, the jaws may extend out far enough to strike the ways. Before turning on power, rotate the chuck by hand to make sure the jaws ...
Like the mini-lathe and mini-mill, the C6 lathe is manufactured by Sieg Industrial in Shanghai, China. While the construction and finish are similar in some ways to their smaller cousins, the C6 is more rugged, more precise and has some extra features, such as an abundance of oil ports, that make it a better-quality lathe overall.
It's a very nice chuck; the same chuck provided with the mini-mill, but even with the table cranked to it's lowest position, there's only about 1/2″ clearance from the face of the chuck to the top of the 2-1/2″ inch-tall machinist's vise that I …

Long-time readers of mini-lathe may recognize some features that this lathe has in common with the "old-style" Homier 7×12 lathe. Available only for a limited time, that lathe was very well liked by owners who purchased them.

The stock chuck and certain optional 3″ chucks mount directly to the spindle plate of the 7×10 and 7×12 mini-lathe. Four-inch chucks, the largest I recommend using on the minilathe (Update 04/07: I later tried a 5″ 3-jaw chuck. Although it is a little large, I have been using it now as my main chuck for several years), require an adaptor ...

Mike Taglieri posted the following procedure for doing this: Over the past week or so, I've been lapping the various ways on my 7×10 to increase the contact area and minimize play.

The 'standard' bandsaw for mini-lathe owners is widely known as 'the 4×6 bandsaw' since it can cut through a rectangular cross section up to 4×6 in size (try that with a hacksaw!)
