Hi Lads.
Well I'm getting into the whole car model building(1/12,1/24), and have been searching this forum and others for opinions but would like a direct answer. My interest would be building car parts ie wheels, brake discs, rivots etc I am a complete newbie really. I have used a full size lathe in metalworking at school but at 45 that's no real help for me now . I have researched the web and am really interested in the Sherline 4000/4100 mini lathe, but would like to know exactly what is needed to begin machining alu parts etc. There are many lathe 'packages' on the bay but yea..not knowing what is needed (tools/chucks) makes it difficult. Budget 1000-1500 and yes I do know more is required for 'extras'
Thanx for reading...
