Congrats David, I'm sure you're going to love it. You can do so much with a lathe!

Thanks Bruce, I've been wanting one for home for a long time! I work all day in a machine shop so you'd think I'd have my fill but nope, just makes me want my own so I can work on projects without having to stay after work.. :-) and now I've got one, she's small but she's mine.
As an ex-machinist, I know what you mean. I have a 14X40 in my shop.
Please help support the Creek.

I need to finish breaking mine down so I can get rid of every last drop of packing grease... but it does make a nice addition. Congrats!

So Mr. Brimm, it's been a while and no action photo's !
Have you been able to cut threads or ???
Keep us posted re your new found toy.
Also I wondered if you had done any milling with the lathe and what kind of jigging have you used for that purpose?
Thanks for posting !
I haven't had much time to mess with it other than the initial setup and test run since I've been so busy at work. Hopefully that'll slacken up and I can get back out to the shop and make stuff!
I've never done any milling on the metal lathe, I'm lucky enough to have a shop full of Bridgeports and Fadal CNC setup at work if I want to do some milling so...
A shop full of Bridgeports ! Color me green with envy. Lucky, lucky, lucky!
I hope you get some shop time soon. It's good for the tension relief for sure.
Get some ! More pictures too if you can.
