If so, the mechanics are probably the hardest thing to do... There is good info in the archives of both groups, but new posts should into the active group.

This status update cannot be undone. There are 9 wheels in the set and a few arbors to go in their centres. I also needed something I could lift and carry up the stairs into my workroom, which is in the loft.

Hobbymat MD65 needs assistance to start - If so then if you scan it in and attach it to your next post I will be able to tell you which contacts to check.

There are 9 wheels in the set and a few arbors to go in their centres. The original collet chuck is very nice and lives and dies on mine. The lever feed tailstock is a god send. I have two spare faceplates Let me know what you need from the handbooks.
I willl take up you kind offer of info when needed from the handbook, and if you are getting rid of your machine one of the face plated may hobbymxt of interest Peter, do hobbykat have any old 35mm film manal kicking around anywhere? That is one of the earlier machines and it is manual easy to knock the reversing hobbymat rather than the on switch. This is what the face plate looks like, the collet chucks yes I have two and the fixed and travelling steadies. Lever feed tailstock, not so easy to copy but my design for the Prazimat would scale easily. It looks like your milling attachment is the geared one; worth bfe65 the internals for play. The geared ones have been known to get noisy something to do with a problem with bfe65 or something I am not sure what as I have the belted version Jo. hobbhmat

Homemade Hobbymat BFE65-CNC with EMC2 --First milling test-
Purchase I looked at micro-lathes which were around 23kg, including the Seig C1 and the Taig Micro-Lathe 2. I had occasion to open up the Hobbymat head 20 years ago when I had a problem and found that the gears phenolic composition were simply smeared with what appeared to be conventional bearing grease. I will keep these updates coming. The big decision is whether to choose the slower 4-pole for more torque at low speeds or the higher top speed of the 2-pole but with reduced torque at low speeds. I used this when completing the repair. I have no idea how good or otherwise it is, but it was widely available on eBay so I guess it is at least commonly used. I like it that these machines were made in the year the Berlin Wall came down — I imagine that the people who made my machines were hopeful about their future. There is also a Yahoo Group for these lathes:.
