QUOTE(toolguy @ Jan 12 2015, 10:02 AM)  Save yourself a lot of trouble and take an Adult Ed course in the basics, or find an old retired machinist for a new friend. . Never wear gloves or loose clothing, look twice before turning on the motor, and always have safety glasses on. It's usually inattentiveness that causes issues and just when you 'think' you understand, something goes wrong. . . breaking a part is the least of your worries. . it's eyes and fingers that suffer the most. That machine is made to shred metal without hesitation. . . skin doesn't stand a chance. And it happens before you can react. . . Please don't think you can yank your hand out faster than the lathe can grab it. . it happens incredibly fast. . . By the way, Machinery is a lot like a 914. . . the cost of the lathe is incidental considering the cost of the tooling you'll need. . This is good advice. Find an experienced machinist to teach you (videos are very marginal). You need to learn basic machining fundamentals, as they will apply to all machinery. Most tend to under estimate what it takes to properly run machine shop machinery. 30 years of tooling and prototype machine shop management in medical device manufacturing here. Andys |
