Thread: Which lathe?
27/10/2014 09:04:23

Hi all, thanks for all the replies. I've been extremely busy with all those pesky desmo engines but a suitable lathe has been located and I'm going to see and possibly buy it today. Will post pictures/updates and I'm sure I'll have a few more questions in the coming days

Hi all and thanks for the replies. I'm in sunny London and there us a distinct lack of lathes down here it seems. I was offered a chester 3 in 1 which on paper ticked all the boxes but extensive research on the net showed a) poor customer service b) apparently substandard built. I don't want to be in a position to have to buy as many spares as tooling tbh.

Thanks and keep the suggestions coming

Hi all, thanks for the space you're kindly allowing me on the forum. The question is simple: which one would be a good metric lathe to get with a 1k budget? Maximum size of parts worked on would be around 20cm. I know metric are hard to come by, so how hard would it be to use an imperial to make metrics, especially threads (if this is even possibile at all..) sorry for all the questions but I'm a complete newbie on the subject. Thanks in advance, Max
