Thread: Lathe for Beginner

02/09/2009 20:34:10

Just to let everyone know I bought the Myford ML10 so the learning curve begins as from this weekend. Thanks to everyone for their input and I hope to post more to the forum but next time not as such a beginner.

Regards

Thanks again for all input strangely enough I do have an oportunity to get hold of a Myford ML10 but felt it might be a bit advanced for me also not sure of its accuracy as quite an old lathe. That is why I mentioned the lathes that I did from a starting point.

My idea is to start with OO gauge but again dependant on how that develops I might want to go up in size. I notice that no one has mentioned the hobymat much is that not such a good lathe?

Thanks to everyone for their input. As a starting point I thought of scratchbuilding OO gauge hence the smaller type lathe. Which out of the two I mentioned Unimat/Hobymat would be the better bet? Can anyone who has one of these lathes let me know how they find them with good and bad points.

I am starting out from scratch, with a small amount of knowledge of lathes but would like to know what would be a good starting lathe. The two that I have heard about are the Unimat 3 and the Hobbymat.

I look forward to replies from past experiece which I am sure there is allot of on this forum.
