I’m interested in eventually getting my hands on a small lathe (yes, when I joined I was told this might happen ). Something with similar dimensions of those cheap Chinese mini lathes.
Not only am I limited in space, but the parts I’d be working with would be small stuff (3 or 4” by 7”), and very, very basic turning. I’m not in a hurry to buy anything (might not even happen), and this is more of a luxury/curiosity toy (I mean tool).
I’ve been doing a bit of a google, and would appreciate any suggestions for what to look out for. I wouldn’t even mind a project rebuild one, as this is purely for the ‘fun’ of trying something new out.
