Samuel ★★★★★

Swapped out the old detent rod on my 7x12 mini lathe, and this one slid right into the back gear shifting mechanism without any filing or adjustments needed. The machining is precise enough that the gears engage smoothly now.

Julian N. ★★★★★

Installed this detent rod on my 7x12 lathe and the back gear engagement is now smooth and positive again. The steel feels sturdy, not flimsy like the bent original. Saved my machine from the scrap pile for under five bucks.

Emma ★★★★★

This detent rod was a perfect replacement for my mini lathe and dropped right into place with no fuss. The shifting mechanism now clicks smoothly through each gear without slipping.
