After 25 years of wishing since learning to use a lathe at work, I finally have my own :beer:. It's a Titan 210V, which seems to sit size wise in between a mini lathe and a 9x20. It's Chinese, with all that that entails, but I'm having fun getting it into shape and relearning all the stuff I've forgotten. |

It does come back...... Enjoy! :D David D |

Welcome Bigmini. You're a bit like me. I did some machining as a youngster and loved it. Don't know why I didn't look for an apprenticeship. To young and restless I guess. Have come back to it as a mid-life hobby and having a ball. Maybe if I'd made it my career it wouldn't be fun any more. Plenty of burned out machinists selling insurance or whatever. Have you started thinking about a mill yet? You will. :med: |
