Shaft, Intermediate, 7x14 Mini Lathe

The gear-train support on this is rock solid—my headstock runs noticeably quieter now. Machining the replacement took me about 20 minutes, and it seated perfectly with no shimming needed. Exactly what I needed to get back to turning.

The splines on this intermediate shaft lined up perfectly with my gear train, making the reassembly of my 7x14 mini lathe feel effortless. It’s a solid, well-machined piece that has noticeably reduced vibration compared to my old worn component. Everything spins smoothly now.

Finally got my 7x14 mini lathe back in action after swapping out this intermediate shaft. It fit perfectly in the headstock and the gear train runs smooth and quiet now.
