After you have made the first pass, which should leave just a spiral mark on the 
workpiece, use a thread gage to check that you are cutting the correct number 
of threads per inch. 
Use a nut or the matching part to tell when you are done cutting the thread. 

Common Accessories

 

You will soon find that the purchase of a lathe is just an initial step. There are 
many tools and accessories that you will need to get full use from your lathe. 
LittleMachineShop.com carries a full selection of accessories. Following are 
some common accessories used with the mini lathe, a small sampling of the 
complete LittleMachineShop.com line.  

Cut-Off Tool Holder 

Cutting-off, or parting, is a common procedure on a lathe. Once you have 
turned a piece on the end of a rod, you use a cut-off tool to part the work from 
the rod. Cut-off tools come in various widths, from about 0.040" wide, to much 
wider than can be used with a mini lathe. Most cut-off blades are ½" tall, 
which means they will not fit in the tool post that comes with the mini lathe. 
The cut-off tool holder shown below fits in the standard tool post and holds a 
½" tall cut-off blade.  

 

LittleMachineShop.com part number 1551

. 

This cut-off tool holder fits in the 
standard 4-way tool post (and most other 
tool posts) and holds 1/2" tall cut-off 
blades. 
 

Quick Change Tool Post 

The standard mini lathe tool post has positions for up to four tools. While this is 
useful, the standard mini lathe tool post does not have the capability to hold 
boring bars or cut-off tools without an adapter of some sort. 
Quick-change tool posts provide several advantages. They provide an easy way 
to adjust the height of the tool bit. They provide a quick way to change from 
one tool to the other. They provide a way to hold several different kinds of 
tools, usually including turning tools, cut-off blades, and boring bars. And they 
are indexable, meaning that you can remove a tool, and when you replace it, it 
returns to the same position, with no adjustment necessary. 

LittleMachineShop.com part number 3112

. This is a very high quality quick-

change tool post for the HiTorque Mini Lathe.
