Drawbar, 3MT x M12, Mini Lathe

Took my M12 drawbar out of the bag and the threading felt clean right away—no burrs or rough spots when I spun it into the spindle. The hardened cap screw held up fine during a solid evening of turning, no flex or wear at the threads. Exactly what I needed to lock the collets down tight.

The hardened steel feels much more solid than the cheap mild steel one I was using, and the flat washer included is a nice touch. Installed perfectly on my mini lathe with the 3MT spindle and threads went in smoothly.

The hardened washer is a nice touch; feels like it'll hold up better than the standard ones I've used before. It threaded in cleanly and the fit on the 3MT spindle was snug, just as needed.
