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 |

Not a good idea to leave the "T" handle in the chuck, and turn it on.

Not a good idea to leave the "T" handle in the chuck, and turn it on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Always get in the habit of taking the key out no matter if the machine is off, etc. I have seen many people throw keys and it is terrifying. There are new "OSHA" keys that are spring loaded so you can't forget them in. Other than that, videos are good to learn but there is no replacement for practice. If you can learn how to grind HSS tooling you can save a bit of money when you're learning. The trick is just to make everything run smoothly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
