Hi,
I am new to machining and am looking forward to getting a metal lathe next month. Given my finances and space I have decided on a Busy Bee 7 x 8 lathe. I have been involved in woodworking and stained glass as hobbies for a while now. since I retired a couple or 3 years ago I decided to scratch my machining itch. I may lurk for the next month until I get the lathe and basic tooling then I expect I will have all sorts of questions.
