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.

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.Quote:

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

starting the slow process of upgrading parts of my home network - the odd looking "holes' on the right are for SPF+ ports
i noticed that my old computer does have a 1 gig port - not sure why it is running at 100 meg so if I get some Cat 8 cable - I will test out if the build in network can't hang at 1gig
