I would love a lathe Dave but they can be quite expensive and they take up a bit of room as well. But they are a great thing to have, I hope to get one someday as well as a TIG welder. Good luck with yours and happy fettling  |

Have a long list of tools needed Myford is great little lathe but limited capacity ok for many bike related bits though,wheel spindles any washers/spacers etc. first job couple of fork top nuts in stainless.It's stlll in the car waiting for step son to come round and help lift it out.Always been lucky while working having access to all machines to do foreigners but those days are over being man of leisure now,wifes birthday today so lathe will have to take second place,bought her a private reg for car spells her name I got to keep the SD the number was on |
