Hi all my name is Billy
I live in Scotland have wanted to own a lathe for over 35 years and decided it was time to do it so i bought one just one of those from china and it does me I still have a lot to learn  but this forum is great for that having spent many a night reading on it I thought it was time to register.  I have also just bought a sieg sx2 mill but must still set it up so hoping to do that this weekend if time permits and then it,s back to reading again anyway that's me for now.  Billy.

Hi Billy!

Welcome to the collective :borg:

I have both those tools. With some tuning and mods, they have served me well. What do you like? or what is it you want to make? Scotland eh? One day I will get to visit there. My dads side of the family is Scottish.

BTW... curious, how did you find the site?

Eric

Billyg:
Hi Eric
 Thanks for the welcome.
 I don't no about the x2 yet but i have started on the lathe just playing with it at the moment stripped it to clean and adjusted as much as i could but having read on the forums i still have more to do but i wanted to use it for a while. As for hobbies i race 10th scale touring car and have a couple of bits i want to make for but i would like to make tools for the lathe such as a ball turning attachment  but i am still collecting tools at the moment.
As for finding the site i was looking for info on the web and came across madmodders and found myself sitting here all night reading some great posts and thought lets stay.
