just got a lathe


 

I'm a retired engineer in the milwaukee area. Just bought a mini
lathe from Frank who has a booth at 7 mile fair. I think its the
same as the Homeier unit.
I'm new at actually cutting metal, although I've had model makers
build me things for years.
I bought Joe Martin's book on Tabletop Machining. Turning metal to
size is not too hard.
When the tool comes, we'll see if i can cut inside threads.
I'd love to hear from others in the milwaukee area and could use
immediate advice on where to get small amoounts of material to turn
Thanks
