|  New (Old?) Tool I just was given an old Dremel moto-lathe 700. I already have a Craftsman capable of turning a 38" spindle, but currently have no place to put it. Perhaps this will get me doing a little turning until I create a space for my other lathe. Cute little thing, perfect for pens, as soon as I replace the missing tailstock center. Sorry, no photos yet  . Tomorrow... I think .Tor

| Hi Tor. Nothing like a free tool . Especially a lathe so you can be much more diversified along with you other woodworking hobbies. Here is a parts list of your lathe . http://www.owwm.com/files/PDF/Dremel/700708revparts.pdf A missing tailsstock center should not be hard to find. Do you know if it is a #1 or # 2 morse taper on that lathe ? Or does it even use the morse taper principal or some other way of holding a pen mandrel? Is this what yours looks like ?  I have seen a few of them on sale in ebay and some other sites for around $29.00 and up Here is one such posting. http://shopping.superpages.com/dremel~erci_42282~ty_au It is quite a small lathe but should be fine for pens and bottle stoppers etc . Will be interested to hear how much (or little) power it has when you get it up and running. And yes, please do post a picture of yours. W.Y. |

| I think it will be a nice tool, and yes, it may get me back into turning, since I don't have space for my other lathe right now. I will post a picture, but the one Bill posted is the same, in better outside condition. Tor

| It is. Should be fun when I get it going. At the moment I am working on some cabinet doors while my SS is temporarily out of commission. Just a burned out speed control, but I cannot work at full speed. It does mean that I am firing up the noisier tools of the shop, which in this humid climate is only to the good. Tor
