Thread: Ideal Beginners Lathe?
18/07/2016 14:03:32

Thanks for all the replies guys..... very helpful.... think I will be looking at a straight lathe now with a vertical slide...... my dad always said if I went for a Lathe then go for a Myford 7 but can't afford one of those and I think it would be a risk to go for a 2nd hand one...... i have a mini lathe at the moment but just finding it atoo small and not powerfull enough for what i want to do.....seen all the comments about the Chinese ones and know what you mean but weighing up all the pros and coins and taking into account the experience that people have had with the machine, I think I'm now edging towards the Clarke CL430 with a vertical slide...... thanks again for your time and look forward to keeping in touch with the forum.... Phil

New to the forum and model engineering although I have been a model aircraft builder and flyer for over 30yrs...... I am looking for a Lathe/mill combination and would appreciate your thoughts on what would be suitable..... I am looking at and being swayed towards the Clarke CL500M lathe/mill/drill combination from MachineMart, especially as they are doing it at a VAT free price at the moment.

Your thoughts are appreciated...... Phil
