My HF 8x14 Mini Lathe Mods

[darkzero]

Actually, the speed reduction pulley for the 8x14 is different than the 7x lathes. The reduction pulley for the 8x lathes have planetary gears inside to reduce the speed & because of which the motor has to be ran in reverse for the spindle to run CCW. Parts for the 7x lathes don't interchange with the 8x lathes, they are different machines.
