Mini Lathe - Top 30+ Accessories for the Novice Machinist - Rob's Garage

Be aware that this is 48 minutes long. I touch on many of the important tools and accessories for typical mini lathes that I as a beginner obtained and found to be vital, or very useful with my Optimum 2004V lathe. Most of these are cheap or cost-effective and the information is intended for beginner hobby machinists who may be overwhelmed by all the details and don't have money to burn.

This is a companion to a similar video on my channel about accessories for the mini milling machine.

The video mentions: Dial indicators, quick change tool post, feeler gauges, brushes, 4 jaw chuck, face plate, steady rest, follower, live and dead centres, tailstock tap and die holders, chucking reamers, hand reamers, knurling tool, hss and carbide insert tool bits, drill sets, white grinding wheels, whetstones, parting tools, ER32 collet chuck, drill sets, lighting, magnifiers and reading glasses, bore gauges, tap and die set, digital calipers, micrometers, oils and cutting fluids, marking blue, scribes.
