I bought a Pro Tek 7x12 lathe a few years ago and hardly use it due to the lack of rigidity in the compound rest. The automatic feed works great and cuts smooth but the inability of the rest to keep from loosening up drives me nuts. Any solutions or references are appreciated.

A familiar sound.

I just bought a 7x12 lathe for larger work. I have both the taig lathe and milling machine. I am planning on keeping my taig lathe. I needed an adapter to put on a butane can so that I could fill up my new live steam mogul. Grabbed a piece of brass rod and fiddled around and made one. I love mine.
