I got a great deal from my neighbor for his old lathe.
Do I need it? Absolutely no! Did I want one for the last 20 years? Hell yes! Here is my problem: I have NO clue how to operate/use it. Amy recommendation about "how-to-do" books or DVD? Thanks, dc |

draganc,
Sorry, I had to laugh about your comment about the lathe having all of the add on tools. When you have a lathe and learn to use it, you will buy some more add on tools! Then when you have them "ALL", you will sell your lathe to an unsuspecting neighbor and upgrade to the next bigger/better lathe. Sound familiar? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You will have lot of fun with your lathe and don't take my remarks too seriously. I got a small Taig lathe about 10 years ago and began looking for projects to do. Originally got it to be able to repair cue sticks for pool. Worked out very well, but found I could make no money doing that. I was able to custom make my own shift bushings for my 914. While it is nice to have around, I seldom use it any more. Tom |
