View Full Version : An "arranged marriage"... is this like mixing matter and antimatter?

I'm heading out in a few minutes to pick up another lathe. I sold my Jet VS mini to a good friend and thought I wouldn't replace it at first. I figured that I could get along just fine with my PM3520a. But, there has been a smaller lathe that has been talking dirty to me every time I see one and I finally gave in to my lathe lust. My hopes is that "goldie" will manage to form a working relationship with his new "partner." Photos to follow...

Hey, enough of that you bad boy! Isn't it bad enough that you are flaunting your relationship with a new mini right under Goldie's ways -- now you want to post pictures of it! Oh, the humanity!

When I drug in my tired bones from this weeks travels last night I had a message from my "dealer" and he said the "little lady" is back and she is perfect. So, today is supposed to be the day! I hope to post pictures latter today...

And here she is... Everyone should have a mini-lathe and since I recently sold my Jet VS Mini to a new convert (another one brought to the Dark Side) I just had to replace it. So, I decided to see if all this hullabaloo about mayo had any merit. Seems pretty nice so far. Goldie seems to like her as well. Funny, this mini cost me as much as the 3520 did! Yikes, I've lost my mind...

Chris,
You shouldn't put those two so close together because they are destined to destroy one another. I suggest you ship one to me immediately to prevent the imminent explosion. I'll even pay for the shipping just to make sure you are kept safe!

Congrats! BTW, would you like to adopt a son!!!

Enjoy,
Dick

I hear that if you water and fertilize it and set it next to a sunny window that it will grow up to become a full sized Oneway.

Hi Bill,

This little lady has to live in my basement so it kind of like the mushroom treatment, well at least like the first part of the mushroom treatment. I'll keep her out of the light to make sure her skin says a nice pearly white and that she never grows any bigger, she is just right the way she is...:)

Well Chris,

I have a stubby 750 and a 1018 I am very happy to have the luxury/combination of the two. Congratulations, you are in for a real treat working with this machine.
