Can you provide a URL where that pdf is located, Mike? I can't seem to find
it, and there is no Save Target in this hack/spitWindowssucks crapVista
Mail.

I saw a shop-made QCGB maybe 5 years ago, but don't remember where or what
machine it was for. It was an open style gear selector added on to the left
end of the lathe bed.

Well, there are positive points to consider, Michael.. the mini lathe
has many of the desireable features for lathes that the bigger models
don't, it just doesn't have a quick change gearbox.


I knew I'd seen this recently:

a home-made, effective-looking QuickChange Gear Box for the 7x lathes.
Haven't tried it yet, but it does look do-able.
