Guys my mind is drifting again and wondering if this is a decent beginners lathe http://www.harborfreight.com/7-inch-...the-93212.html
Over the last few months I have had someone machine me some knobs that are about 2" dia out of aluminum,drill a hole in the center and tap a 5/16 thread.These knobs will cost me around 200.00 for this go round.Working within the limits of this lathe,what are the draw backs that by adding alittle more money would have made a big difference,and what is so great about this lathe(if any)besides the price?Can this lathe machine different threads,etc.Just wondering----Carroll
I know you get what you pay for,yes I would like to have one of those old american made lathes
