... no, really! http://makeprojects.com/Project/The-Multimachine-150-12-Inch-Swing-Metal-Lathe-Mill-Drill/1751/1 Interesting stuff... a DIY lathe made from concrete for ~$150. Make it big enough and it will be just as immovable as a real cast iron one! |

we've all got more projects than time chief! :proj: but you're right about the weight! :lol: Still, interesting all the same :thumbup: Ralph. |

Hmmm... I see a rendered 3D CAD model but no concrete lathe :scratch: Has anyone actually made one of these? |
