Finally I own a lathe

gionc · 02-15-2006, 03:07 PM

Yes it's true: today I'd purchased my new lathe: I have't switch on already. Those've split my back: it weight almost 40/50 kg, a lot.
The fun is that I don't know from how side it work: well hoping to start some experiece tonite (noise apart

)

lucky bastard, well i hope to have one by the end of the summer. Looking at the Sureline Computer Controlled unit. I may have some questions when i get it

Good pickup.

When you're up to speed will you be able to fill orders for machined parts?

Thread split to another thread to discuss all aspects of machining so we dont Hi-jack Giovanni's thread. New thread can be found here: Machining Discussion-Lathes, Mills, CNC.

Congradulations, Gion. Now your builds will take twice as long!

Got any immediate plans for it?

NICE! What are you planning to use it on so far?

What did your wife said

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for it? I've been looking at one of those in a DIY store around here, but they ask €500 (and the quality leaves much to be desired, TBH)

She's cool with it because Gio cleverly told her that it's a new corkscrew for opening thier Chianti stash

well my bikerhiro, i think my lathe isn't good like the mike's sheerline for sure, however it cost €650 (770 $) but it's still in discount of 200 eur until 28/2: so I payd 500 with blades and a ball-bearing's bit (right translation?).
It's look not bad, at least its weight a lot

LOL man, speed and no-capability apart, actually I haven't the time to come to WC: so if someone want free vacation to "a bit of mile close to" venice, just talk: walk around italian beauty and tastes by day, milling and turning for me, the night

Well thank you all: I guess it need a lot of tim before i'll post something decent, well i promise to post my craps from now, so you'll understand you don't need a lathe
