Finally I own a lathe

:naughty: 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 :grinyes:)

Nice and you well need to find a source for aluminium blocks and cylinders

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:wink:

Good pickup. :) When you're up to speed will you be able to fill orders for machined parts? :D

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. (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=523275)

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

Got any immediate plans for it?:wink:

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

What did your wife said :lol:

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)

What did your wife said :lol:
She's cool with it because Gio cleverly told her that it's a new corkscrew for opening thier Chianti stash :biggrin:

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:grinyes:

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 :grinyes::grinyes::grinyes::grinyes:


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:grinyes::2cents:
