[QUOTE="brian gains, post: 124754, member: 3153"] in the last couple of weeks there was a Myford/Boxford offered on either VMCC site or here for a very reasonable price, subject to condition. Yes. 3 jaw chuck lathes just make round stock smaller with the option of it being bored. But having recently returned to using a lathe since school all I can say is it as obsessively engrossing as a 'new' motorcycle and with more available add on bits of kit than a Harley. That is all apart from mastering tool grinding, turning and feed speeds. You find you consider every potential part purchase ; could I make that, how many set up operations? Next stop a milling attachment. Never an idle moment, what lock down?. [/QUOTE]
