![]() Angle Block Set ![]() Product Code: 19-026 SALE $37.99 Quantity: Availability: In Stock Ten-piece angle block set. The angles included are 1°, 2°, 3°, 4°, 5°, 10°, 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°. You can combine them to make any integral angle.
| ![]() Dividing Head Face Plate ![]() Product Code: 39-101 SALE $99.00 Quantity: Availability: In Stock 39-101.08 39-101.12 Dividing head face plate. Cut your own faceplate for a favorite chuck or have an extra plate for mounting a 4-jaw chuck in addition to the standard 3-jaw chuck. Or just use it as a blank plate on which to bolt a fixture or project. The plate is blank so you can customize it to your needs. Center mount is 1.5" x 8 tpi or 1.125" x 12 tpi. Please be sure to match against your dividing head to guarantee fit.
| ![]() Self-Ejecting Lathe Key ![]() Product Code: 40-000 SALE $23.99 Quantity: Availability: In Stock The self-ejecting lathe chuck key eliminates one of the most dangerous lathe accidents - the chuck key being accidentally left in the chuck when the lathe is started. When the lathe starts, the key can be thrown across the room, can injure the operator or others in its path, or damage the machine. OSHA will almost always require the self-ejecting lathe chuck key for manual lathe chucks.
If safety is a critical concern, or the machine operators will be novices, if the machine operators will be infrequent users -- this self-ejecting key will help to eliminate this common mistake.
The square drive nose is 3/8" and will fit in the standard 3-Jaw chucks on the Granite and Midas lines. The spring-loaded sleeve forces the nose out of the chuck when pressure is removed from the key -- you can't leave it in the chuck. The 6" long handle slides for better leverage.
| ![]() Planetary Pulley (MI-1220) ![]() Product Code: 40-300 SALE $149.99 Quantity: Availability: In Stock A thread-cutting necessity, this pulley slows down your spindle speed allowing you to cut at slower speeds without losing torque.

(Belts pictured only come with 40-300G - belts already installed on Midas machine should be used with 40-300 and 40-300N).

![]() Planetary Pulley (1220 XL and 1220 LTD) ![]() Product Code: 40-300N SALE $149.99 Quantity: Availability: In Stock A thread-cutting necessity, this pulley slows down your spindle speed allowing you to cut at slower speeds without losing torque. This pulley reduces the speed range on the 1220 XL and LTD machines by 50% on the dual belt low speed ranges only. Note: Replaces the current lathe idler pulley.
| ![]() Lathe Dogs ![]() Lathe DogsUsed with a face plate, you can mount and turn work between centers. The workpiece is rotated by the lathe dog engaging with the face plate or a drive plate. The lathe dog mounts around the workpiece and engaged into a slot on the face plate or hole in the drive plate. Working between centers ensures that the workpiece is always perfectly centered on two points. The part can be removed and test fit, then replaced on the lathe and finished or modified. For quick jobs, you can turn a mounting point on a piece of metal mounted in the 3-jaw or 4-jaw chuck -- this becomes your headstock center. The lathe dog is then mounted on the work, a support for the tailstock is installed and the leg of the lathe dog is rested against the chuck to provide the turning force. A quick way to get the job done.
| ![]() Dead Center ![]() Dead CenterCarbide Tipped dead centers are great for setting up work and for use in situations where a live center will not fit. Even though the tip is carbide and will not gall like HSS, carbide must be lubricated during turning operations or it will burn. Heavy grease will do in a pinch for for short runs but, a high-pressure grease, graphite grease, or Anti-seize, either nickel or aluminum based, is strongly recommended. Be careful with the Anti-seize because it will cover everything. Even using the right grease will not guarantee lack of damage to the carbide tip. Proceed carefully.
| ![]() MT3 Live Center ![]() Product Code: 41-103 SALE $44.99 Quantity: Availability: In Stock Turn easily without lubrication with this #1 lathe accessory. Bearings allow its 60° point to rotate with the workpiece. Run out is guaranteed within 0.0004". Note: Included with I-MAX Series.

| ![]() Carbide Lathe Bit Kits ![]() Carbide Lathe Bit KitsTurn at higher speeds with these carbide-tipped tool bits. While superior for high heat and high speeds, carbide is more brittle and must have adequate support in your toolpost. 1/2” shank. Includes 1 each AR8, BR8, AL8, BL8 and E8. These tools can be sharpened until there is nothing left of the carbide or shaped as necessary. To help with identification, remember the tool is identified as R (right) or L (left) depending on which side you normally begin making your cut. For example, if you start your cut from the tailstock end of the machine and cut toward the headstock, that cutter is identified as a RIGHT hand tool (R). Because you start on the right (R) and cut toward the left. A LEFT hand tool (L) begins the cut on the headstock side and cuts toward the tailstock. Summary: L's are for left hand and R's are for right hand tools. On a typical lathe setup, right hand tools cut moving toward the chuck and left hand tools cut moving toward the tailstock. A's have a 0° side cutting edge angle. An A tool, set perpendicular to the ways turns a square shoulder. B's have a 15° positive lead angle. Positive lead means the cutting corner trails the remainder of the side edge in the direction of cut. C's are ground straight across the end. Most are used as blanks for grinding a form tool (a particular shaped tool). D's have a centered point with an 80° included angle. E's have a centered point with an 60° included angle. There is a number that identifies the shank size. The number is the shank size in sixteenths. An AR8 tool is a half inch shank tool, (8/16" = 1/2").
