Bed Extension Kit 16", HiTorque Mini Lathes - Main image
$103.97 $159.95 In stock

This kit turns your Littlemachineshop.com 7x12 HiTorque Mini Lathe into a 7x16 lathe. It includes a bed casting, a lead screw, a rack, a chip pan, and complete instructions.
This is NOT a bolt-together kit. You must drill and tap 10 holes in the new bed casting to match your lathe. You need three metric taps: M3x0.5, M6x1.0, and M8x1.25. If you don't have metric drills, you can use letter and number drills for tap drills. (The sizes are given in the instructions.)

This bed way will not fit non-HiTorque head stocks. The holes do not line up and the motor mounting locations are not compatible.

Jacob ★★★★★

The extra 4 inches of bed length makes a huge difference when you're turning longer stock, and the lead screw extension lined up perfectly with my existing setup. After a few hours of careful work I’ve got a solid 7x16 lathe that runs true.

Leo ★★★★★

I was dreading the setup, but the instructions are actually clear and the bed casting slid right into place. Now I’ve got a full 16 inches of turning capacity, and the lead screw threads feel silky smooth compared to the stock one.

Zoe E. ★★★★★

The chip pan alone makes this worth it—it catches all the swarf that used to end up on my bench. The bed casting lined up perfectly with the existing holes, and the instructions were clear enough that I had it swapped over in an afternoon.
