    Everyone who buys one of the newer ones seems to rave about it. Supposedly they?re quite the tack drivers.

    Traded a guy 1000 rounds of 5.56mm and 500 9mm for this little 8 x 16 lathe. He never even took it out of the crate. I've always wanted to learn how to use one. Now I can. I don't expect to be making aerospace quality parts with it...but it should be OK to learn on.

    One down, two to go.

    remember to get a good - heavy table for that lathe - maybe an old welding table?

    Now hunt down a mill in the same size and you will be able to make as many atomic turnip tiddlers you want.

    Yeah... I thought about where I'm going to put it. I don't have room for a dedicated steel table. It'll be on a steel plate on a very solid wooden workbench. It's the best I can do for now. Like I said...mostly for learning right now.

    Nice deal! Never messed with one, looks like it could be dangerous.

    You should pick up that titanium tube from Irving and make some cans

    LOL... I might need to learn how to turn it on first. I really know very little about using a lathe.
