Tweaks & Enhancements Kit, Mini Lathe

The self-locking feature on the mounting nuts is a game-changer; they haven't loosened once since I installed them. My cuts are noticeably cleaner now, and the hardened steel should last a long time.

Swapped out the old stock nuts for these hardened ones and noticed the chuck holds much tighter during cuts. The self-locking nuts are a nice touch, no more fiddling with loose fasteners mid-project.

The hardened chuck mounting nuts went on perfectly and solved the wobble I’d been fighting for months. That tiny change made the lathe noticeably more precise during my last project.
